Gustavo Rodarte
@gustavorodarte
Senior software engineer specializing in Node.js, architecture, and functional programming.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience delivering high-quality, scalable solutions focused on JavaScript, software architecture, and functional programming. I prioritize clean code, maintainable architectures, and measurable performance improvements.
I have led backend and real-time initiatives using Node.js, TypeScript, Nest.js, and distributed systems tools such as Kafka, Redis, and MongoDB, achieving significant metrics improvements like reducing incident handling time to 38–40s and processing 200k events per hour.
My consulting and product experience spans e-commerce migrations to MACH architectures, Web3 platforms, serverless backends, and high-throughput event-driven systems. I have delivered rapid MVPs, designed image-moderation pipelines, implemented passwordless multi-tenant authentication, and built reusable tooling for observability and PII redaction.
I mentor teams, drive architectural improvements using DDD and Clean Architecture, and integrate development with infrastructure via AWS CDK, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices. I seek roles where I can architect resilient systems, uplift team practices, and deliver user-focused, measurable outcomes.
