Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering. Currently at Datadog on the Cloud Cost Management team in Paris, France, working at the intersection of observability and cloud cost optimization.
My experience spans Software Engineering, DevOps, Software Architecture, and Applied Research. I focus on building scalable and reliable systems in complex cloud environments, having worked with event-driven and microservices-based architectures using Python, Golang, and Java across AWS and GCP.
I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering from UFCG (Brazil) and bring over 15 years of combined industry and academic experience. I am also an Associate Professor (currently on leave) at the Federal Institute of Alagoas.

Originally from São Bento do Una, Pernambuco, in the northeast of Brazil. After years of studying and working across Brazilian cities — Maceió, Campina Grande, Palmeira dos Índios — I moved internationally and am now based in Paris, France.
Outside of work, I am married to Lilian Karolline and am a proud father of Rafael and Maria Clara. When I am not building distributed systems, you can find me exploring the streets of Paris or diving into a good book.
