Expectations

I have been working for 18 years as a software developer and architect helping companies and government agencies to build more secure, reliable, scalable, robust, well-tested, user-friendly and relevant software using various tools, technologies and work processes. In 2019 I finished a post graduation course focused on BigData and I continue studying Data Engineering tools, concepts and technologies.

In 2020 I had the honor of being one of the speakers at the TDC São Paulo conference on the Kotlin Track.

In 2021 I was honored to be a speaker at an international event hosted by the company Kong HQ. My talk at the event "Destination:Scale" was entitled "Make it Easy: Automating Tests and Deployment of Custom Plugins". Also in 2021, i was happy to present again at TDC Connections on the JavaScript and NodeJS trail.
