BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Cloud Architect and Staff Engineer with over 10 years designing high-scale distributed systems for global companies. I bridge business goals and technical implementation, delivering secure, resilient, and cost-efficient architectures.
My expertise spans serverless and cloud-native technologies, including AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Kafka, Spark, Go, Kubernetes, and gRPC. I architect event-driven systems, microservices, disaster recovery strategies, and massive data pipelines.
I have led and contributed to large modernization projects, reduced developer onboarding time through clear architecture documentation, and managed teams and workstreams of up to 30 specialists. I work effectively as a remote B2B contractor for US and global organizations.
I am an AWS multi-certified practitioner, AWS Community Builder and security specialist who produces technical content and organizes community events. I focus on pragmatic, hybrid solutions that use serverless for velocity and containers/Go for high-performance compute.
