Developed and optimized C# backend services for Pix payment processing, reducing API latency by 2% and increasing transaction throughput by 2% for real-time banking operations. Refined validation and business rules to lower transaction failure rates by 2% and improved reliability to maintain 99.95% service availability while reducing incident resolution time by 5%.

Architected and scaled backend services handling 5M–20M daily events for billing, reconciliation, and operational workflows. Re-architected reconciliation to event-driven pipelines, increasing throughput 4x and reducing processing latency from hours to minutes while cutting billing disputes by ~70% and reducing provisioning failures by >80%.

Built Java/Spring Boot backend services for a V2X platform supporting multiple mobility use cases, delivering telemetry/event-processing services for ~300K to 3M+ events/day. Reduced p95 alert latency by ~80% (1.8s to 350ms), improved reliability to 99.9% availability, reduced production defects by ~35%, and shortened deployment time by ~88% (2h to 15m).

Architected and implemented a cloud-native medical data platform with Java/Spring Boot and AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), enabling secure access for 20+ clinics and hospitals. Built REST APIs with JWT authentication and AES encryption to meet Brazilian LGPD requirements, and automated data extraction/transformation with Python and shell scripting to achieve 99%+ accuracy.

Enhanced the ECG Check iOS app by developing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data transfer modules in Objective-C, reducing failed connections by 30%. Delivered HIPAA-compliant secure ECG data storage using REST APIs and local encryption to support clinical adoption.

Taught advanced undergraduate courses in digital forensics, computer security, and cybercrime investigation, supervising student research and incident response procedures. Built hands-on lab environments using virtual machines and forensic toolkits (FTK, EnCase) to improve evidence analysis proficiency.

Instructed and mentored 400+ students in Swift and Objective-C, including UIKit and CoreData, guiding project-based learning that resulted in 200+ App Store launches. Designed curriculum modules for iOS/watchOS/tvOS and delivered training on RESTful API integration, Git, and automated testing with XCTest.

Completed a certificate in Cyber Security at the University of Toronto.

Earned an MBA focused on Computer Forensics at Universidade Católica de Brasília (UCB).

Completed a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science at Universidade de Brasília (UnB).
