Background

About Willian Cruz

IT professional Certified by AWS as Solutions Architect Associate, with more than 30 years of experience in systems development, leadership and project management. Throughout my career, I actively participated in the construction of internet and online communication in Brazil, working on big portals and leading teams in the development of large-scale and high-availability systems. I developed strong communication, negotiation, leadership and problem-solving skills, acting as a link between IT area and internal/external customers. The fascination with technology came early, when I started programming at the age of 11, and since then it has only intensified. I have mastered many programming languages, from Cobol to Python, and I have solid knowledge in databases, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and agile methodologies. Passionate about technology and sustainability, I founded the “Vá de Bike” ("Go by Bike") project, to promote urban mobility and fight climate change. I was responsible for developing and managing the project's website and infrastructure, creating content, organizing events and partnerships, and building an engaged community. Today the project impacts more than 2 million people/year. I am currently specializing in Cloud Computing, Python and AI, technologies that I really like and that will be increasingly important in the coming years.
