What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Backend Engineer, Platform Engineer, or DevOps Engineer role. I can work remotely with a US team and contract through my US company (C2C / 1099), or work in Brazil as PJ or CLT.

At Ovitas, I replaced a roughly 50-step environment setup with a 13-role Ansible provisioning system that takes a bare AWS Linux VM to a working ECM and integration platform in one run. I also rebuilt its deployment tool as a modular, rerunnable phase orchestrator.

I authored the CI/CD recommendation adopted in May 2026 that set Ovitas's move from Jenkins to GitLab, then registered its first GitLab runner and shipped three pipelines. I also automated release notes from Jira sprints and added version, documentation, and security-scan gates.

I’ve delivered customer implementations end to end, from bare-VM ECM installation to production support, including a Java OSGi invoice-processing plugin suite. My work also includes Java and Spring Boot integration platforms, ERP and SaaS integrations, and a local Docker stack that reproduces a customer environment without code changes.
