Paulo Rocha is a seasoned Software Engineer with more than a decade of experience designing and delivering high-performance, cloud-native solutions for the financial and telecom sectors. Specializing in Java and Kubernetes on Microsoft Azure, he architects event-driven microservices that process millions of messages daily while maintaining rock-solid reliability and low latency.
An advocate of DevOps culture, Paulo led the rollout of a centralized observability platform—migrating from self-hosted ELK to a fully open-source stack—that cut mean-time-to-detect incidents by 40 percent and gave teams real-time insight into application health. His hands-on expertise spans PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Redis, and Azure Event Hub, enabling him to craft end-to-end pipelines that turn complex data flows into actionable intelligence.
Known for his collaborative leadership, Paulo has guided cross-functional squads through successful cloud migrations and cost-optimization programs, saving one enterprise client over US $200 k annually in infrastructure spend. He is equally passionate about knowledge-sharing: he maintains several open-source Helm charts, mentors junior developers, and frequently speaks on Kubernetes best practices at local tech meet-ups.
Driven by continuous improvement, Paulo is currently deepening his skills in FinTech Open Finance APIs and exploring AI-powered observability to further elevate product resilience and user experience.More...
