Senior Software Engineer at FullStack building AI-assisted education tools, modernizing ImageQuest, and improving Redis latency 5×.

Brazil
Message

At FullStack, I build backend, platform, automation, and data systems for global education and content products. For Britannica Studio's AI-assisted teacher tools, I develop services connecting to AI APIs for content generation, translation, and media search; a Redis redesign measured 5× lower latency and 100× fewer TCP connections in a local cluster harness.

I modernized ImageQuest by moving monolithic capabilities into REST APIs and building a publishing workflow that processes approximately 100,000 media records per cycle. I also built authentication services with Google SSO and Clever SSO, and an offline mobile content pipeline that exports PostgreSQL data to encrypted SQLite.

Previously, I developed mission-critical systems for Brazilian federal social programs at DATAPREV and designed enterprise Java applications and integrations at other organizations. I hold a master's degree in Computer Science from Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, with research in instruction scheduling and register allocation in LLVM.
