@fernandocallata
I lead high-scale payroll platforms and build resilient C#/.NET, Node.js, and cloud-based distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
At Dev.Pro for Auris, I lead backend architecture for an enterprise payroll platform processing millions of dollars daily and more than 100,000 API requests per hour. I guide two engineering teams of 11 developers while building ASP.NET Core microservices, Angular features, and Node.js integrations for real-time payroll, tax, and 401(k) workflows.
Over 10+ years, I've modernized VB6 payroll systems without downtime, built high-volume payment pipelines at WEX, and delivered full-stack products across AWS and Azure. I work across C#/.NET, React, Vue, Angular, SQL and NoSQL databases, event-driven messaging, and MCP servers that securely connect AI agents to production backends.
