About

With over 25 years of experience designing and implementing complex corporate ERP solutions, my career is built on translating intricate business rules into high-impact software. Leading system architecture and localization in Russia (2019-2024) sharpened my systemic vision, cross-cultural leadership, and resilience in large-scale global projects. As a Product Owner, I excel at bridging the gap between strategic business roadmaps and technical delivery, ensuring that robust web platforms deliver real value. Now, I am bringing this deep corporate foundation directly into hands-on software engineering. In a deliberate technical pivot, I am expanding my stack to the Java ecosystem (Postgraduate degree at UTFPR, Spring Boot, Microservices, and RESTful APIs) to build modern, cloud-native architectures. My goal is clear: I am looking to join large national and international companies as a Java Backend Developer or Solutions Architect. I want to write code that scales, combining the technical edge of modern engineering with the business maturity of a global product leader.

What I'm looking for

Target Roles: I am seeking remote opportunities with national and international engineering teams as a Java Backend Developer or Solutions Architect. My goal is to write clean, scalable Java code by combining modern engineering practices with the high-level business maturity of a global technical leader. Core Stack: Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Microservices, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), JPA/Hibernate, Git, SOLID, Clean Code, System Architecture.
