Designing cloud-native architectures on AWS for fintech, Web3 and regulated platforms. Distributed systems, event-driven services, on-chain integrations shipped to production.

Aboutstory.

  • Senior Software Architect with 8+ years designing cloud-native systems on AWS across fintech, Web3 and regulated platforms. Day-to-day across Node.js, TypeScript, Go, event-driven architectures and distributed data.
  • Architected the tokenization platform at Zuvia managing R$200M+ in real-world assets with 5K+ active investors and 99.9% production uptime. On-chain Solidity contracts bridged to a modular Node.js backend with strong idempotency and traceability.
  • Currently designing KYC and compliance infrastructure powering 20K+ identity verifications. OCR, facial matching and liveness checks integrated through async workflows, cutting false negatives by 35% and partner onboarding from 2 days to 4 hours.
  • Architect mindset, end-to-end ownership. Co-founded two companies. Comfortable from system design and ADRs to production incidents and team mentoring. I lead architecture decisions and write the code that proves them out.
