I build scalable Python backend systems, APIs, automation, and high-performance data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I've built Python automation systems and REST services at Stone Co., reducing manual operational processing time by 97% and improving PostgreSQL database performance by 30%. I also contributed backend and frontend features for web platforms at the Brazilian Army using Django, SQL, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
I'm now leading three developers at Infinix Assessoria e Tecnologia, making architectural decisions for scalable Django products, relational data models, and REST APIs. My work spans PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Redis, Celery, AWS, Docker, automated testing, Agile delivery, and technical mentorship.
