What I'm looking for

I seek backend or AI-focused roles where I can improve reliability, mentor engineers, work on scalable systems, and collaborate across teams.

I am a senior backend engineer with deep experience building scalable microservices, financial systems, and AI-driven features across global teams.

At Workera I worked with Elixir/Phoenix, prompt engineering, and test automation to ensure LLM outputs met expectations and to compare models, while contributing new features and maintaining the platform.

Previously at Olist and PagSeguro I designed and maintained high-throughput systems using Golang, Kafka, Kubernetes and related tooling, led technical initiatives, identified performance bottlenecks, and mentored other engineers.

I prioritize reliability, observability, and collaboration, and I bring a track record of improving test coverage, system performance, and cross-team integrations to deliver production-ready solutions.
