Senior Software Engineer Cloud Native Engineer · Platform Engineer

I build systems that hold under load.

Building systems for more than 11 years, for fast-moving startups and large-scale enterprises — memory-efficient, low-latency (sub-millisecond) Go backends for Tradeview Markets, Kubernetes Operators for Cisco Secure Firewall Cloud Native, real-time data synchronization for Sportradar, Temporal-orchestrated order flows for Daki's grocery delivery platform, embedded .NET inside Agilent's laboratory instruments, self-service VM provisioning on VMware's VCF Automation.

Cloud-native production systems, owned end-to-end — code, build, deploy, monitor.

Selected work

Cisco

Secure Firewall Cloud Native

Built the Kubernetes Operator that merges reusable config fragments into the single config Cisco's firewall and VPN run on. Designed an Operator that protects newly deployed services with AWS Shield and led the team that built it.

  • Go
  • gRPC
  • Kubernetes Operators

Daki

Grocery Delivery Platform

Brazil's most popular grocery delivery app. Built the order flows in Go — create, cancel, fulfillment, payment — as Temporal workflows, so an order halfway through picking survives a restart instead of being dropped. Exposed the whole order cycle through the GraphQL API.

TVM

Tradeview Markets

Designed and implemented a memory-efficient, low-latency (sub-millisecond) backend for an online trading platform with zero allocations in the hot path. Aeron for inter-service transport, FIX integration with multiple liquidity providers, end-to-end order execution.

Agilent

Chromatography Data System

Custom software for Agilent's laboratory instruments, used for chemical analysis — from fuel and oil quality testing to cancer research. .NET microservices deployed on Windows Embedded hardware inside the instruments.
