I'm leading the evolution of Prudential's next-generation Notification Platform at Capco, replacing synchronous architecture with a reactive solution that achieved approximately 10× higher throughput while reducing infrastructure costs.

I build scalable, event-driven systems with Java, Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor, Kafka, R2DBC, and AWS. I've also modernized a Marketing Materials platform with React, Node.js, and Amazon Kendra to improve content discovery for financial advisors.

Previously, I developed real-time highway monitoring for the State of Goiás at Memora and enterprise inventory systems for public organizations at Logus Technology. My work has included REST and GraphQL APIs, high-volume data processing, Docker deployments, and CI/CD automation with Jenkins and GitLab.

I bring a quality-focused approach through JUnit, Mockito, JaCoCo, and PITest, alongside experience applying AI-assisted development with Claude Code. Earlier IT audit and risk-management work at KPMG shaped my analytical, risk-based approach to enterprise systems.
