Experience
TicketRun
TicketRun is an eCommerce site where runners can register themselves in races similar to the New York Marathon but takes place in Brazil.
I was responsible for the architect, design, and development of this eCommerce from scratch. It is a huge project with a multitude of functionalities, with many integrations and accessed by different roles with different permission levels.
One of the most import aspects of the project is the payment system. During the years I developed the integration with five payment gateways and had to re-engineer the system to make it adaptable to different payment methods.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to lead some junior and mid-level developers, reviewing their code, guiding them and teaching best practices on how to write clean and maintainable code, and how to apply principles such as DRY and SOLID.
I also was responsible for planning and migrating the application and the database to Microsoft Azure platform, improving the performance, scalability, and reliability. Taking advantage of Azure integration with Bitbucket, I also implemented continuous deployment, facilitating the release of new versions of the site.

ChipTiming
http://www.chiptimingworld.com/I was responsible for updating the entire company’s software arsenal. Working closely with managers, I consolidated their ideas and experiences gained over the years to architect and develop new applications with better user experience, performance, reliability, and flexibility.
One of the main challenges was to create a desktop application to run the core business of the company, responsible for process the runners’ time, classify them and generate the results in real time. The project has a considerable complexity, with many different inputs, outputs, and options to support different styles of race.
Another interesting project was a multithreaded application, with a plugin-like architecture, to communicate with a variety of RFID readers via TCP and USB ports.
I also built a registration and kit pick-up management system. A client-server application, with dynamic registration forms, designed to be extremely flexible and attend different client needs.
Those different kinds of challenges gave me a broader perspective about system architecture and had enormously improved my analytical skills, which now allows me to tackle problems in different ways and find solutions for them fast and effectively.
