Senior Software Engineer — Distributed Systems & Identity Verification
I build high-availability systems that verify identity at national scale. 10+ years across banking, government, and biometric platforms — most recently at Aware Inc. (USA) and Valid S.A (Brazil).
I work where biometrics, security, and large-scale backend meet. Lately I've been exploring the overlap between biometric identity and AI governance: how you keep autonomous agents accountable to a verified human.
What I focus on
- Biometric authentication & identity verification at scale
- High-availability distributed systems, REST API design, Clean Architecture
- API security and compliance (LGPD / GDPR)
- Emerging interest: biometric human-in-the-loop for AI agents
Stack
.NET Core / C# · React / TypeScript · AWS · Azure · PostgreSQL · Docker · Microservices
Currently
- MBA in AI & Data Science (PUCRS)
- Writing about biometrics + agentic AI governance
