I build resilient backend platforms for industrial IoT, fintech, and public services using Python, Java, Azure, and event-driven architecture.
What I'm looking for
At Shape Digital, I build Python microservices on Azure for offshore equipment health, alarms, and maintenance APIs. I led an AI-powered Jira–Azure DevOps sync that raised client SLA compliance from 0% to roughly 50% and helped clear 90 medium-and-above priority issues from the Shape Lighthouse backlog.
Previously, I re-architected payment transaction processing at Mr Pay with Clean Architecture, making acquirer and payment-gateway integrations independently testable. At IBRAPP, I delivered the final national ID issuance integration for Maranhão, enabling more than 300,000 citizen ID records to complete submission to federal databases.
I build maintainable systems under pressure with Python, Java, microservices, Kafka, RabbitMQ, REST APIs, automated testing, and cloud delivery practices. I look for the bottlenecks nobody has claimed yet, from broken handoffs and silent SLAs to workflows teams have learned to work around.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
• Proposed and led an AI-powered synchronization service between Jira and Azure
DevOps, ending the manual double-entry that let client tickets drift out of

consistent automatically, giving support and engineering a single reliable view
of SLA exposure. Client SLA compliance went from 0% to roughly 50% and
