@carlosalberto1
Senior Software Engineer at CAPS Tech Consulting building .NET platforms, LLM features, and agent tooling for enterprise clients.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
At CAPS Tech Consulting, I work hands-on with enterprise clients on software development and architecture. For Avenue Code, I built RAG pipelines and custom agent skills; for Icatu Seguros, I designed microservices and messaging architecture for life insurance and capitalization products.
At XP Investimentos, I restructured Clear's financial services from a monolith to microservices, contributing to 60% higher performance and 30% lower infrastructure cost. I also designed data access layers supporting services with more than 600,000 daily active users.
Earlier, I helped take Toro Investimentos' financial platform from MVP to launch, supporting 80,000 concurrent users on day one. Today I integrate generative AI into backend services with Semantic Kernel and Microsoft.Extensions.AI, and use agent-driven tools in my engineering workflow.
