What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead remotely, build secure backend services and integrations, and use AI to improve code safety and review—while shipping fast in distributed, high-responsibility systems.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of professional experience building business management software, with a strong focus on backend engineering and databases. I enjoy turning operational pain into reliable automation, especially in distributed, event-driven environments.

At Function Health, I work remotely as a Software Engineer / Team Manager for an asynchronous international team. I develop service-oriented architecture (SOA) solutions on a highly distributed system, focusing on backend Python and GCP integrations, communications, and fast response to events.

I also bridge technical and non-technical teams by analyzing and building solutions that automate manual internal processes. Alongside engineering delivery, I manage, recruit, interview, guide technical decisions, and implement AI tools into the workflow for code security, data safety, and code review.

Previously at Reachdesk, I built and shipped new features for large-scale B2B corporate gifting, focusing on backend Ruby on Rails, authentication, account management, and third-party integrations. Earlier, at Eskolare, I maintained a large educational marketplace with Python, Django, Docker, AWS, PostgreSQL, and RESTful APIs/webhooks, and at TAG Experiências Literárias I helped build a logistics, administration, and data visualization system from scratch for a major subscription platform.
