Background

About Diego Lopes

Backend Software Engineer with 7 years of experience, currently working with Scala and ZIO in cloud-native environments using Kubernetes and AWS. I also have solid experience with Java (Spring Boot), Node.js, and Golang. I've worked in agile teams using Scrum and Kanban, delivering backend solutions for both large companies (Santander, Mercado Libre) and fast-paced startups (Caju). My focus is on building scalable microservices, improving system design, and writing clean, maintainable code. Over the last 3 years, I’ve been involved in key technical decisions, contributed to system design, reviewed pull requests, and helped define best practices. I’ve also worked successfully with international teams, including a Spanish-speaking team at Mercado Libre. One of my key strengths is adapting quickly and contributing effectively in fast-changing or unfamiliar environments.
