Versatile Java Backend Developer with 9+ years of experience in microservices, cloud strategies, concurrency, and Agile methodologies.
I am a Senior Java Backend Developer with over 9 years of experience specializing in scalable microservices and cloud-based solutions. My expertise includes Java 17, Spring Boot, and Agile methodologies, with a focus on creating clean, efficient code. I’m passionate about driving digital transformation through innovative software solutions and mentoring teams to achieve high-quality results. My goal is to leverage my skills to build robust systems that solve complex challenges in dynamic environments.

Projects

Portuguese API

The “Cooperativa” project is a microservices-based application developed to test and refine my skills in scalable software architecture using Spring Boot. The main objective of this project was to leverage modern technologies to create a modular and efficient system while simulating real-world scenarios that involve API integrations. Key Features and Technologies: • Microservices Architecture: Designed with scalability in mind, the application employs a microservices approach, enabling independent deployment and efficient resource management. • Spring Boot: Used as the core framework to build the services, ensuring a streamlined development process and seamless integration with other technologies. • Docker: Containerized each microservice using Docker to enhance portability and simplify the deployment process across different environments. • MongoDB: Implemented MongoDB as the primary database to store and manage data, benefiting from its flexibility and scalability in handling diverse data models. • Redis Caching: Integrated Redis to optimize performance through caching mechanisms, reducing latency and improving response times for frequently accessed data. • External API Simulation: Developed a secondary microservice to simulate calls to an external API, testing the application’s ability to handle third-party integrations effectively. This project showcases a strong foundation in modern software development practices, focusing on scalability, modularity, and efficient data handling, making it an ideal example of my capabilities in building robust microservices-based solutions.See More
