Impact§ 02

Outcomes that shipped.

Five technical decisions with measurable impact on velocity, cost, reliability, and compliance.

  1. Integration delivery velocity

    Transfero · 2023 →

    Designed a Microkernel architecture for external-integration adapters and built a Visual Studio template that scaffolds the full library structure. Tripled delivery speed for new adapters and became the team standard.

    Trade-offAccepted more complexity in the core — an extensible kernel costs more to maintain — in exchange for linear adapter delivery. Worth it because integrations were the team's growth vector.

    • C# / .NET 7
    • Microkernel
    • Clean Architecture
    • Visual Studio
  2. Py → .NET

    Critical migration from Python to .NET 7

    Transfero · 2023 →

    Rewrote a critical integration from Python to .NET 7. Performance gains, higher reliability, and alignment with the company's core stack — fewer incidents on critical financial operations.

    Trade-offAccepted the cost of rewriting battle-tested code in exchange for consolidating the stack in a single language — smaller oncall surface, one CI/CD pipeline, unified observability.

    • Python
    • .NET 7
    • Performance
    • Reliability
  3. ↓ cost

    Centralized pricing service

    Transfero · 2023 →

    Built a centralized service that aggregates external pricing data and serves every internal application. Eliminated redundant calls, standardized the source of truth, and cut company-wide operational cost at scale.

    Trade-offAccepted a single point of failure in exchange for consistency and cost. Covered with aggressive Redis caching, clear SLOs, and graceful degradation when the upstream goes down.

    • C# / .NET
    • Redis
    • Azure
    • Distributed Cache
  4. SDK

    SDK + template that accelerated the payments team

    Transfero / BTG Pactual · 2022 →

    Built an SDK and a Visual Studio template that scaffold the base project for payment adapters. Other teams now focus only on the integration itself — time per adapter fell from weeks to days, with quality consistent by design.

    Trade-offSDKs demand semantic versioning discipline and an API surface that ages well. I took on that responsibility to remove cognitive load from consumer teams — they no longer need to know the plumbing.

    • C# / .NET
    • SDK design
    • Visual Studio
    • DX
  5. 7 days

    Regulatory delivery under pressure

    Financial system · delivered in one week

    A project with tight regulatory requirements delivered end-to-end in seven days. Prevented significant operational losses and kept the company compliant with the regulator.

    Trade-offKnowingly accepted tech debt — minimal coverage, deferred refactor — in exchange for a non-negotiable deadline. Follow-up plan written on delivery day; debt cleared in the two sprints that followed.

    • High-pressure delivery
    • Compliance
    • Execution

Independent projects§ 04

Independent projects.

Beyond my work at companies, I also build and operate products of my own. Three live in production right now.
