What I'm looking for

I’m looking for global relocation or remote opportunities where I can lead cloud modernization, data, and integration architectures in regulated environments—combining AI-enabled solutions, strong governance, and measurable cost/risk outcomes.

I’m a Senior Solutions Architect with 10+ years leading cloud modernization, data architecture, integration, and digital transformation in highly regulated financial services. I connect business, product, engineering, data, security, and governance teams to deliver scalable, secure, and cost-efficient platforms.

I’ve led large-scale modernization initiatives across enterprise data environments with 3,000+ database tables and 60+ TB of data, using AI-assisted approaches to accelerate assessment and migration planning. I define modernization strategies aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework to reduce migration risk for business-critical systems.

My architecture work has delivered measurable outcomes—reducing reimbursement fraud losses from approximately BRL 6 million per month to less than BRL 10 thousand through AI-driven validation and architectural improvements. I also drive governance and FinOps practices, including BigQuery governance and cloud cost optimization that contributed to approximately BRL 400K in savings.

From event-driven microservices to APIs and governance controls, I design target-state architectures and reusable integration patterns that speed up cloud adoption. I’m especially energized by AI-enabled solutions and practical, actionable recommendations that help stakeholders align and move forward.
