Currently combining backend expertise and legacy modernization with AI/MCP specialization to automate engineering workflows and drive productivity.

About Me

With over 25 years in IT, I built my career by solving complex business problems through technology. For the past 10 years, I have adopted Java as my core language to architect and deliver robust, secure, and scalable solutions.

I operate as a "hands-on" Tech Lead: providing technical leadership, mentoring teams, and designing architectures, while maintaining my passion for coding and staying deep in the trenches. Currently, I combine this solid background in backend and legacy modernization with my postgraduate studies in Software Architecture, applying Artificial Intelligence (GenAI/MCP) to automate engineering workflows and drive professional productivity to new heights.

At Foursys, I lead the critical microservices migration for the "Debt Communication" product (Equifax SCPC Boa Vista), implement custom encryption/decryption libraries for sensitive client data protection, upgrade core services from Java 17 to Java 21, and partner with SREs to design CI/CD pipelines.

Focus: Java 21, Cloud Migration, Microservices, Technical Leadership, and AI Solutions.
