About me!

I am a software developer specialized in Go and Ruby, focused on building distributed systems, microservices, and REST APIs for enterprise backends.

I have hands-on experience creating scalable, resilient, and highly available solutions, working on real-world production challenges around performance, concurrency, observability, and reliability.

Day to day, I use Go as my main language for distributed services, applying good architecture practices such as hexagonal architecture, SOLID, separation of responsibilities, and well-defined contracts between services. I build solutions that help clients automate processes, improve operational efficiency, solve complex problems, enhance the security and reliability of their systems, and scale their operations sustainably.

I also have a solid foundation in SRE and DevOps practices, with experience in CI/CD, automation, monitoring, cloud computing, and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes. This blog is a space where I share learnings, hands-on experiences, and reflections about backend engineering, distributed systems, Go, APIs, and software architecture.

Software Development Engineer - Kyndryl

July/2023 - Present

I’m a software engineer focused on backend, with a strong emphasis on Golang for building distributed systems at scale. Throughout my journey, I’ve specialized in turning complex problems into simple, reliable, and easy-to-evolve solutions, always prioritizing performance and predictability in production.

Today, I’m part of the backend team at the Kyndryl Bridge platform, where I develop Go services for an automation orchestration platform that supports mission-critical operations. I work daily with high-volume workloads, concurrency, and strict reliability requirements, building systems designed to scale.

I work closely with architecture decisions, contributing to the design of resilient, observable distributed services using practices such as hexagonal architecture, well-defined service contracts, and clear separation of responsibilities.

My SRE and DevOps foundation complements my backend engineering work, allowing me to see the system end-to-end — from code to production. Performance, monitoring, automation, and reliability are part of the same problem, and that’s where I like to operate.

I believe in impact-driven software engineering: collaboration, continuous learning, and simplicity are the pillars for building sustainable systems that are ready to grow.
