I'm a full-stack engineer in Brasília. I work as a solution architect at a state-owned bank, and I design, build and operate three products of my own — the same person writes the migration and gets paged when it breaks.
- Solution architect at a state-owned bank, on an Agile Release Train
- Head of IT at a military health unit doing 1,000+ appointments a day
- Three products in production that I built and operate
EXPERIENCE
Solution Architect — BRB — Banco de Brasília
2022 — PRESENTa state-owned Brazilian bank
I work in the bank's architecture modernisation team, and as the solution architect on an Agile Release Train covering a set of applications.
Day to day that means designing solutions and integrations with the teams that will build them, and keeping the decisions consistent across those teams. I write code, Terraform and configuration alongside the design work — I was also responsible for the OpenShift platform on the infrastructure side, and I currently work on platform engineering projects running on GCP and GKE.
I joined through Brazil's competitive public examination process.
Head of IT — Brazilian Air Force dental clinic, Brasília
2017 — 2022military health service, 1,000+ appointments a day
I joined as a dentist and, because of my software background, spent the five years that followed running the IT section.
I led the telematics team and was responsible for the unit's systems, its IT plan, and the development and support of everything the clinic ran on. SININ and the Sistema de Retomada were both built in this period.
Owner, endodontist — Gold Odontologia
2014 — 2019own dental clinic
I ran the clinic and saw patients, specialising in endodontics, while continuing to build software.
Full-stack developer — Independent
2001 — PRESENTown products and clients
Estudador, QRDash and REP Calc are mine: I designed them, wrote them, deployed them and I operate them. Before those there were years of small custom systems for small businesses, alongside everything else on this page.
