About

I'm a software engineer from Recife, Brazil, now based in Dublin, Ireland. Over the past decade I've worked across fintech, SaaS, and mobile — from intern to tech lead — always focused on building reliable systems that scale.

I enjoy working on backend challenges: distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, and cloud infrastructure. Java has been my main language for years, but I've also worked with Go, Scala, Python, and TypeScript along the way.

Outside of work, I co-organize the Minnesota Vikings fan community in Brazil, enjoy a good Guinness, and spend time gaming. I also have a soft spot for random facts.
