Experience

Sled

http://www.sled.com.br
Sled, a fintech company, allows the digital change to be transferred directly to the customers' bank accounts or donated to an NGO. It also has a new cashback product, the first of its kind in Brazil, allowing customers to withdraw directly in any store with a point of sale (PoS).

B2B Marketplace

This project, currently under NDA, is for a publicly listed company. I migrated a distributed system between Azure regions. The system is built mainly with Java and Node.js and deployed and operated with Azure DevOps and Kubernetes. It manages all the procurement between the distributor and a chain of 1,200 stores.

Capacity Management

This project, currently under NDA, is for a publicly listed company. I maintained and operated a portal built with Java, ran on Azure, and deployed with Azure DevOps. This portal processes thousands of orders daily, providing logistical optimization with hundreds of variables, including stock availability and truck capacity.

Procurement Portal

This project, currently under NDA, is for a publicly listed company. I migrated the portal from a bare metal server to a cloud. Currently, I maintain a procurement portal built with Java and deployed with Azure Dev Ops. This portal oversees the whole procurement process of the company and processes a considerable amount of procurements items.

Major Agronomy Enterprise - Cloud Architect

I migrated a full workload from Europe to the US, acting as a senior DevOps engineer using AWS, and reduced their overall AWS costs by 70% over a one-year engagement. Also, I improved their cloud security by following AWS best practices and helped developers own the CI/CD process and infrastructure.

Birdie.ai

http://www.birdie.ai
I led the Engineering Foundation team in charge of building infrastructure, tools, libraries, and other processes and artifacts (CI/CD, DevOps) shared by all the engineering teams to guarantee that patterns and best practices are implemented across the company.

My work also included helping rebuild the data crawling systems from scratch, making them scalable horizontally according to demand. I also collaborated with the application and data teams to build a better, near-real-time data pipeline, replacing a batch-based solution with streams.
