Software Developer @ Mercado Livre Brasil

About

With nearly 9 years of experience in Application Engineering and Sales at a British multinational, I decided to pursue my passion for solving logical problems and transitioned my career to IT. After an intensive period of study, I joined Mercado Livre as a Back-end Software Developer. Specializing in Go (Golang), I work on developing APIs for an internal e-learning platform. Integrated into a microservices ecosystem, I utilize tools such as New Relic, Datadog, and MELI's Cloud Platform (Fury) to ensure service efficiency and scalability. My previous experience in the commercial sector, combined with my technical knowledge, prepares me to tackle challenges and contribute to innovative solutions in the technology field. I am always motivated and ready to learn and grow in this new professional phase.
