What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can architect reliable, high-performance backend systems—API-first microservices with event-driven cloud integrations—while mentoring teams and owning end-to-end delivery, especially in mission-critical domains like fintech.

I’m a Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-performance backend architectures, with a strong focus on API-First design, event-driven systems, and cloud solutions.

At Efí Bank, I architect and optimize scalable microservices for mission-critical financial services, ensuring high reliability for thousands of daily transactions. I act as a technical reference for financial business rules, drive code reviews and mentorship, and collaborate cross-functionally to align engineering work with business needs.

I design and deliver RESTful APIs using OpenAPI (Swagger) with TypeSpec, applying Clean Architecture and SOLID principles to improve maintainability and scalability. I also standardize API versioning and lifecycle management, automate testing with Jest and integration tests (n8n and custom solutions), and build CI/CD pipelines in GitLab.

My work extends to event-driven integrations (AWS SQS and SNS) and observability with OpenSearch and Elastic Kibana. I’ve driven measurable impact, including reducing customer support tickets by 30% via self-service dispute initiation, cutting manual fraud analysis by 70–80% through automation, and improving processing time from hours to milliseconds through AWS SQS polling redesign.
