Senior Software Engineer | Event-driven & Distributed Systems | Java, Scala, AWS, Terraform
Software Engineer and Software Architect with more than 20 years of experience in payments and fintech. I work on distributed, event-driven and cloud-native systems using Java, Scala, Node.js, Python and AWS.
Recent work includes the reliability of a high-volume checkout platform at Ambush, an AI-driven career-planning platform at ADP, and payment and accounting platforms at Agibank and Sicredi.
I design and operate distributed systems for financial services. My work covers payment platforms, event-driven architectures, cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines, combining hands-on engineering with architectural decisions and mentoring.
I also use AI-assisted tools such as Claude, Cursor and Copilot to speed up refactoring and test generation while keeping quality standards.
