What I Do
8+ years working at the intersection of software engineering and technical communication
- Tech lead for 15-person team (real-time Kafka platform)
- Event-driven microservices: WhatsApp, iFood, in-store channels
- AI-assisted full-stack development (Python, PostgreSQL, Redpanda)
- 2 full platform migrations (Gatsby → Docusaurus → Antora)
- 2,000+ config properties auto-generated from C++ source
- 70% faster deployments via build pipeline optimisation
- End-to-end Disaster Recovery docs (95% solo-authored)
- GBAC security documentation from zero
- Cross-functional coordination across engineering, PM, and CS
Impact at a Glance
Highlights from 8+ years across engineering and documentation roles
Selected Work
Across documentation engineering, technical writing, and software development
Redpanda Shadowing: Disaster Recovery
95% solo-authored end-to-end DR guide. Participated in engineering design reviews, co-wrote PRDs and RFCs, then wrote the full user-facing technical guide across cloud and self-managed deployments.
Docs Platform Automation
Built Python + tree-sitter tooling to parse a C++ codebase and auto-generate reference docs for 2,000+ configuration properties, eliminating ~80% of manual update overhead.
Kurrent: Astro/Starlight Migration
Diagnosed critical VuePress memory constraints; architected migration to Astro/Starlight. Achieved 70% build speedup and fixed 100+ broken links. Migration was in progress at time of company-wide layoff.
Order Processing Platform
Led a 15-person team building a real-time event-driven order ingestion system at one of Brazil's largest fuel retailers, aggregating WhatsApp, iFood, in-store, and web channels via Confluent Kafka.
BID Soccer Notification System
End-to-end event-driven system built entirely with AI-assisted development: polls Brazilian soccer transfer registry (with CAPTCHA), deduplicates records, streams via Redpanda, sends real-time Telegram alerts.
GBAC Security Documentation
Authored Group-Based Access Control documentation from scratch, covering concepts, configuration procedures for cloud and self-managed clusters, and reusable UI procedure partials.
