What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior backend role where I can own end-to-end high-traffic platforms, deliver cost-aware scaling and strong observability, and collaborate closely with product, frontend, DevOps and QA to ship reliable features.

I am a backend engineer with 20 years of experience building systems that stay up under heavy traffic. Today I work on the digital sales platform of Globo, where I designed the backend (Java, Quarkus, MongoDB, Redis) to handle peaks of 30,000+ requests per minute while keeping CPU usage under 40% with cost-aware autoscaling.

I also built observability with Prometheus, Grafana and Kibana for real-time diagnosis and fast incident response. Previously, at Dataprev, I worked on national unemployment insurance systems processing 700,000+ benefit payments per week, and I won the Dataprev Hackathon with a blockchain data-sharing platform.
