What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend, distributed, and cloud-native systems where I can lead modernization, improve performance and reliability, and deliver high-impact solutions with business and product teams.

I've built backend platforms at NewFold, JBS, Tuiuiu Pesca, and Filaqui using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and microservices. At NewFold, I develop Storefront services and AI agent integrations using Python and Model Context Protocol.

At JBS, I led a Python monolith migration to distributed Java microservices and AWS serverless architecture, supporting 5,000+ active users across 500+ stores. I reduced Java AWS Lambda cold starts from about 8 seconds to under 1 second with GraalVM and Java AOT, and I enjoy turning operational problems into scalable, business-focused products.
