I’m a Senior software engineer building resilient backend and AI platform systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building resilient infrastructure and scalable backend systems in collaborative, agile environments. I’m driven by an early passion for technology, with early exposure to C and Linux through the Brazilian Informatics Olympiad and personal projects.
I cover the full lifecycle—from system design to high-performance APIs in Python, TypeScript, and Java. I’ve modernized platforms across AWS and Azure using Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes, with a focus on reliability, observability, and maintainable delivery.
At Goldman Sachs, I support critical global trading platforms and lead internal AI initiatives using RAG and LLM orchestration to improve reliability and developer productivity. I also built an AI-assisted incident response tool that queries live logs and documentation to accelerate detection and resolution of production anomalies.
Outside core work, I’m building AI-enabled products: yvy.app.br is an environmental observability platform integrating official ICMBio and FUNAI data, and JS Agent is a browser-first multi-step agent with hosted/local LLM routing, modular skills, orchestration, and durable memory/cache layers.
