I lead the development of scalable decision engines and backend architectures for major financial institutions such as Santander, SIM Financeira, HDI Yelum Seguradora, and Bradesco, using a robust Java and FICO tech stack. What I do: I build decision-making platforms using FICO DMPS, Blaze Advisor, and AFM, integrated with Java (8–17) and the full Spring Stack. I design microservices aligned with event-driven architecture, leveraging Kafka, MQSeries, Pub/Sub, Zookeeper, and Storm. I implement resilient APIs with REST/SOAP, containerized and deployed through CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, BitBucket, and Spinnaker. I manage high-volume messaging and distributed processing through Redis, HBase, HDFS, and SQL Server. I ensure system-wide observability by configuring Grafana, Kibana, and Elasticsearch dashboards for real-time monitoring and alerts. I conduct automated testing with JUnit, Mockito, Postman, and SoapUI to maintain high quality and stability. I also mentor junior and mid-level developers, sharing best practices in clean code, FICO flows, architecture design, and microservices with Spring and Java. Stack: Java 8–17, Spring Boot, FICO DMPS, Blaze Advisor, Kafka, GCP, Azure, Redis, Jenkins, Spinnaker, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Grafana, Zookeeper, MQSeries, SQL Server, HDFS
