Senior Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and building production-grade distributed systems.


I don't just write code — I design systems, automate infrastructure, and ensure quality through rigorous testing. I own backend systems end-to-end: from architecture design and database modeling to CI/CD pipelines and production observability.


Core expertise in Go, TypeScript/Node.js, and AWS serverless architectures. Track record of solving real scaling problems — eliminating concurrency bottlenecks through async processing, reducing response times with multi-layer caching, and designing RBAC systems for multi-tenant platforms.


Background spans enterprise SaaS, gaming, e-commerce, and aviation — always with a focus on clean architecture, system design, and software engineering best practices.


// 3+ years collaborating with global teams in English. AWS Certified. Based in Brazil.

Cyrex Enterprise
Senior Backend Engineer — Remote, Belgium

Core backend engineer for a multi-tenant SaaS platform (salon booking + e-commerce). Responsible for architecture decisions, system design, and end-to-end implementation of critical business systems.

  • Architected and built 10 independently deployable services in Go — public API, admin API, async workers, and webhook processors — following clean architecture with dependency injection and interface-driven design
  • Designed an event-driven order processing pipeline (BigCommerce webhooks → SQS → Lambda), resolving concurrency issues that caused data inconsistencies under high webhook throughput by decoupling ingestion from processing
  • Implemented multi-layer caching with Valkey using cache-aside pattern, single-flight for thundering herd prevention, and configurable TTL policies — fixing frontend memory leaks caused by heavy uncached database queries
  • Built a role-based access control system with Casbin — fine-grained path-based authorization supporting 5 roles across multi-tenant contexts with wildcard matching
  • Integrated 5 external systems end-to-end: BigCommerce (e-commerce), Exact Online (ERP/invoicing with OAuth token management), Clerk (auth), Postmark (transactional emails in 3 languages), and SerpAPI (reviews)
  • Designed the database schema across 76 migrations including PostGIS for geospatial search, multi-language translations, soft deletes, and composite indexes for query performance
  • Owned CI/CD pipeline: GitHub Actions with matrix builds, Docker multi-stage builds, ECR push, ECS Fargate deployment — using AWS OIDC (no long-lived credentials)
  • Built async activity logging: SQS → Lambda batch processor → DynamoDB with composite keys for efficient time-range audit queries

Cloud Consultancy (Contract)
Backend Engineer — Remote, São Paulo

Contracted as backend engineer for Gol Airlines — one of Brazil's largest carriers — building an internal employee travel management system from the ground up.

  • Designed and implemented a fully serverless architecture: Auth0 for authentication, DynamoDB for persistence, Lambda for compute, EventBridge for event routing, and SNS for push notifications on flight scheduling
  • Built an AWS IAM-inspired permission system allowing admins to assign fine-grained feature-level access per user — similar to IAM policies with resource-based permissions
  • Integrated with GDS (Global Distribution System) for real-time hotel and flight data retrieval
  • Served as technical reference for the project — created architecture design documents and led system design decisions
  • Automated employee onboarding via a Python Slack bot with 1Password integration — the only engineer to successfully implement the 1Password API integration, reducing onboarding time by 40%

1st Place — Amazon Studios Hackathon (Turkey)

Selected and sponsored by Amazon Studios for a 4-day hackathon during New World game testing. Built an AI-powered Project Manager bot (Slack + Jira) that monitored channels, proposed ticket creation in real-time, answered project flow questions using ticket documentation as knowledge base, and generated comprehensive documentation on demand. Won 1st place competing against internal engineering teams.

Onboarding Automation — 40% Time Reduction

Built a Python Slack bot with 1Password API integration that automated access generation for new collaborators. Was the only engineer to successfully implement the 1Password integration, cutting onboarding time by 40%.

Build Generation Tool — Avalanche Studios

Developed a build generation tool using Go and GitHub Actions that scanned NFS, created cron jobs, and scheduled releases — significantly improving build management efficiency.
