I'm looking for Python Backend positions.
Renan Bortolato
@renanbortolato
Senior software engineer improving APIs and cloud architectures with Python and FastAPI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior software engineer with 10+ years of diverse experience across software development, bringing technical depth and strategic thinking to every project. I focus on building reliable APIs and modernizing systems for speed, maintainability, and cost efficiency.
In my recent role, I restructured and improved a core endpoint (OffshoreStatement), delivering a 60% increase in customer position response speed using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. I also built a FastAPI API from scratch to automate a reprocessing flow through a dedicated portal, and I created a Future Options engine from scratch with AWS Lambda, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge—resulting in a modern architecture that’s easier to maintain and much lower in cost.
Previously, I helped internalize and modernize systems by setting up environments, improving Docker workflows, updating Python versions for production readiness, and enabling faster debugging with a local Docker image in VS Code. I’ve also led development in a startup context, improving GCP serverless pipelines to cut monthly costs by 50%, and I contributed to front-end and platform engineering using technologies like VueJS, React, Angular, Java, Oracle, and VanillaJS.
