What I'm looking for

I’m seeking backend and DevOps opportunities in Portugal with English-speaking international teams, focused on system reliability, automation, and performance optimisation—building scalable APIs, microservices, and cloud CI/CD that keep deployments smooth.

I’m a Senior Backend and DevOps Engineer with 14+ years designing, developing, and maintaining scalable backend systems and RESTful APIs. I’ve led backend architecture for logistics and streaming platforms, delivering 99.9% uptime with sub-200ms response times and improving scalability by 40% through microservices-based infrastructure.

I build automation-first platforms using Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM) to keep releases fast and operations dependable—cutting release cycles by 50% and reducing environment setup from 2 days to 2 hours. I also develop AI-powered solutions that integrate Google Gemini, Groq AI, and automated web scraping pipelines, while mentoring teams on backend and DevOps best practices.
