BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Architect and Engineering Leader with 25+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling enterprise B2B platforms. I bring hands-on expertise in Java/Spring, PostgreSQL/Oracle, REST APIs, and cloud-native architecture, pairing it with leadership practices like Scrum, backlog refinement, architecture reviews, and technical mentorship.
Most recently, I led and scaled a Scrum-based team at Connect Smart Data, improving delivery predictability and reducing release cycle time by ~30%. I designed and evolved cloud-native B2B systems with 99.9% availability, integrated enterprise systems with SAP using SAML and OpenID Connect for secure SSO, and optimized PostgreSQL with PL/pgSQL to cut critical query times by up to 40% while supporting 10TB+ datasets.
