Pedro Fortunato

Design and implement scalable, real-time backend systems in Go for multiplayer casino games. Entrusted within two months in the role to architect a contract-based modular library, complete with unit-tests and documentation with usage examples, aimed at reducing duplicated code, easing developer onboarding, and serving as the foundation for future development. Develop high-concurrency, low-latency services using WebSockets, PostgreSQL, Redis, and NATS. Build and maintain containerized applications with Docker, deployed on AWS ECS in a microservices architecture. Collaborate closely with game developers and DevOps teams to ensure seamless, responsive gaming experiences in a high-traffic, high-stakes production environment.

(3-month internship as part of trade school degree, graded 18/20) Designed and developed a Node.js backend service to offload intensive business logic from the main application, improving performance during critical user flows. Created and deployed automated web scraping scripts for data extraction, integrated with internal systems and APIs. Built RESTful APIs and worked with MySQL and Google BigQuery for data storage and analysis. Containerized services using Docker for development and deployment consistency. Collaborated with frontend developers using React and GraphQL to support seamless data delivery.

Led projects through their full lifecycle—from requirements gathering to development, deployment, and postdeployment support. Developed backend tools in Go and Python to automate call-center campaign tasks, including online payments, SMS integrations, and contractor software synchronization. Built and maintained REST APIs and job schedulers to reduce manual workflows, improving operational efficiency and reliability. Maintained and extended legacy systems written in C# and SSIS, ensuring stability and integration with newer services.
