Miguel Vieira

I’m a backend-focused software engineer with 4+ years of experience building event-driven, distributed systems in the financial domain using Java. At Critical Techworks/BMWGroup, I design and develop event-driven microservices, own a sub-domain within the product, and lead task forces centered on customer data standardization—while building systems that handle sensitive customer and financial data in production.

I work across the full stack of backend reliability: Kafka-based integrations for trustworthy data exchange, PostgreSQL for schema management and data integrity, and production deployments on AWS using Kubernetes (with observability tooling such as Grafana). I mentor interns and junior engineers, participate in on-call rotations, collaborate daily with QA and business stakeholders, and recently led adoption of AI tools in workflows like AI-assisted coding and code reviews—integrating agent harnesses and copilot tooling while maintaining code quality and secure development practices.
