Tech

Background

I'm a Cloud Infrastructure Tech Lead at REPAY, where I've spent 7+ years building and securing payment infrastructure. I manage 100+ AWS accounts, lead PCI-DSS and ISO 22301 compliance efforts, and mentor engineering teams — certified by HashiCorp, AWS, and EXIN.

My career has been rooted in fintech and payments — from Braspag (South America's largest payment gateway) to Remessa Online (cross-border money transfer), Boom Financial (credit card fintech between Brazil and the U.S.), and e-commerce companies like InfoPrice and Boolabs. I started my tech journey at Apple as a Macintosh Solutions Consultant.

Along the way, I've architected high-throughput clusters handling thousands of requests per second, implemented blockchain infrastructure between BeeTech and Ripple, led monolith-to-microservices migrations, and built internal training programs for AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes. I also served as a DevOps Technical Interviewer and Mentor at BairesDev, interviewing 100+ candidates and helping 90% of underperforming mentees turn into top performers.

That engineering mindset — structured thinking, precision, and reliability — is exactly what I bring to content creation today.
