Marcelo Neves
@marceloneves
Junior Java backend engineer bridging global ERP architecture with clean, scalable Spring Boot REST services.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I bring 25+ years of experience designing and implementing complex corporate ERP solutions, translating intricate business requirements into scalable software. I’m now deliberately evolving into hands-on backend engineering, expanding my core stack to the Java ecosystem through a Postgraduate Specialization in Java Software Engineering—focused on Spring Boot, Microservices, and RESTful APIs to build modern, cloud-native architectures.
I’ve led system architecture and ERP international localization for the Russian market (2019-2024), aligning stringent local tax and operational rules into a legally compliant, localized ERP delivery—while bridging cross-border teams and stakeholders entirely in English. As a former Product Owner and Solutions Architect, I excel at aligning product roadmaps with technical delivery, using data-driven workshops to map trade-offs and define MVP phases that keep execution focused on real business value.
