Senior software engineer focused on platform, cloud-native systems, and reliable scalable infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with deep experience across consulting, startups, and large enterprise environments, focused on platform and systems engineering.
My work centers on cloud-native architectures, distributed services, and migration workflows that enable large-scale enterprise adoption; I emphasize reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
At OutSystems I’ve driven migration efforts from OutSystems 11 to ODC, concentrating on bridge layers and conversion/merge workflows to make transitions safe and repeatable.
I’ve built internal platforms at Kraft Heinz, core product systems at Draftbit, and honed engineering craft at ThoughtWorks — all reinforcing my approach of blending product thinking with pragmatic, dependable engineering.
