What I'm looking for
I am a senior Java developer and systems analyst with a long career building enterprise systems for financial institutions, including the Central Bank of Brazil and Banco do Nordeste. I helped develop and maintain high‑scale payment and risk platforms, including Pix and multiple risk management systems.
My strengths include backend development with Java and related technologies, designing and integrating algorithms for stress testing and risk calculations, and leading testing, estimation and defect resolution efforts. I have experience with cloud/container platforms, messaging, CI/CD and mentoring team members.
I also have a strong teaching background—training over 400 students in programming, supervising final projects, and authoring an object‑orientation Java e‑book—bringing clear communication and pedagogy to technical teams.
