Back to original languageAbout Pedro
I design and buildbackend**, **cloud**, and **applied AIproducts for companies that need to turn an idea into something real, stable, and production-ready.
I am aSoftware Architectwith over10 yearsof experience in backend, cloud, internal platforms, and critical systems. I have worked in enterprise, banking, SaaS, and AI innovation environments, combining architecture with hands-on execution.
My approach is **direct**: thoroughly understand the problem, choose a sensible architecture, build quickly, and leave a technical foundation that won't break easily or force the team to live putting out fires.
I can help you if you need to:
- Design and build anapp(backend/frontend) from scratch.
- Set up a **cloud architecture**.
- Create a custom internal platform or **automation**.
- IntegrateAI, RAG, or agentsinto a real product.
- Review an existing architecture and identify risks.
- Turn a technical idea into a **functional MVP**.
- Provide senior judgment to a team without a full-time hire.
I primarily work with Go, Python, Node.js / TypeScript, AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and PostgreSQL, but I adapt to **any technology**.
I am interested in projects where I can contribute judgment, build well, and help generate real impact. My approach is practical and **results-oriented**.
