What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can scale cloud-native SaaS, mentor engineers, drive CI/CD and reliability, and partner with Product to deliver customer-focused solutions.

I am an Engineering Manager with 16+ years of experience leading remote-first, cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale SaaS platforms, distributed systems, and low-latency APIs. I combine a hands-on full-stack background (Node.js, React, Express, MongoDB) with cloud-native architecture, CI/CD automation, and observability to drive reliability and developer productivity.

I have led teams of 60+ engineers on multi‑million BRL engagements and mentored engineers into tech leads while improving throughput, reducing onboarding time, and introducing GenAI developer workflows. I partner closely with Product and Design, manage stakeholders and vendors, and prioritize customer-focused delivery, security, and scalable system design.
