Weslley Espirito Santo
@weslleyespiritosanto
I build distributed backend systems that improve logistics, financial operations, and software delivery quality.
What I'm looking for
At Mercado Livre and Kangu, I've built Golang and PHP services for order contracting, carrier tracking, and reconciliation—raising tracking update rates by 30% and reducing operational financial losses by 27%.
Over 10+ years, I've led migrations from legacy PHP applications to distributed microservices, strengthened automated testing and code-review practices, and reduced unit-test pipeline time by 52%. I work across Golang, PHP, MySQL, Redis, Docker, CI/CD, and observability tooling, and I'm open to international remote opportunities while based in Brazil.
