Senior Software Engineer focused on backend services, APIs, distributed systems, and data products.
I'm based in Oeiras, Portugal, with approximately nine years of software-development experience across insurance technology, investment banking, and product engineering.
- Backend services and APIs using Scala/JVM and C#/.NET
- Data-intensive workflows and relational systems with PostgreSQL, Aurora/MySQL, and SQL Server
- Production services running on AWS infrastructure managed with Terraform
- End-to-end product development with TypeScript and React when the work calls for it
- System integrations, schema migrations, monitoring, incident recovery, and legacy modernization
- Helped drive the modernization of a legacy PHP/JavaScript platform by extracting functionality into Scala services, contributing to a reduction of more than 40% in the legacy repository
- Built a Docusaurus documentation platform that reduced related support requests by approximately 80%
- Mentored junior engineers across frontend, backend, and legacy-modernization work
- Reliable backend architecture and distributed systems
- AI-agent orchestration and local LLM inference
- Building a lightweight market-risk engine for automated risk monitoring and reporting
I'm interested in senior backend and backend-leaning product roles in Portugal or remote across Europe.
