Software engineering, infrastructure and consulting · Teresina, Brazil
I help businesses simplify systems, solve problems and build operations that are more efficient, secure and ready to grow.
What I do
I work at the intersection of software, infrastructure and business, identifying operational bottlenecks and delivering improvements focused on impact, reliability and long-term maintainability.
Designing and evolving cloud and cloud-native environments, balancing business needs with cost, availability and maintainability.
Investigating incidents, resolving recurring issues and optimizing systems to reduce disruption and improve the experience of their users.
Identifying risks, prioritizing vulnerabilities and implementing safeguards, with timely action when operations demand it.
Improving processes and delivery with CI/CD, automation and AI, choosing solutions that deliver practical value for teams.
Results in production
I work close to production, combining analysis and execution to improve what matters to the business.
Rebuilt a pipeline processing millions of events per day, moving data delivery from minutes to real time. The asynchronous Python solution on ARM simplified the architecture, improved resilience and cut costs by a factor of 32.
Optimized Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), reducing costs by approximately 30% and saving nearly BRL 200,000 per year.
Helped transform an operation affected by frequent, prolonged outages into a more stable platform. Monitoring and alerts enable faster detection and resolution of occasional incidents, supporting a high-quality SLA.
Identified the need to strengthen information security and brought it to management, balancing risks, costs and options. The initiative evolved to include a SIEM and a dedicated SOC team.
I also monitor vulnerabilities and act proactively. In cases such as Log4Shell and PHP2Shell, I alerted the team and led the application of fixes.
