@augustoback
Senior Backend Engineer specializing in Java, cloud-native systems, and scalable API design.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 15+ years building and scaling distributed systems using Java and Spring Boot, focused on performance, reliability and cloud-native patterns. I design and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs for high-availability environments and lead initiatives to reduce technical debt and improve scalability.
At BeatStars I owned and evolved 50+ backend APIs within the Publishing domain, implemented solutions on AWS (DynamoDB, RDS, Lambda, Fargate, CloudFormation) and led performance and reliability improvements. I collaborate closely with Product, QA and Support to align technical decisions with business needs and maintain strong CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Earlier roles at Sicredi and IBM honed my expertise in enterprise backend development, banking systems, WebLogic and Oracle, and mentoring junior engineers. I bring pragmatic, results-oriented engineering practices and a continuous improvement mindset to product-focused teams.
