Miguel Palomo de Castro

I'm a neurodiverse software engineer passionate about self-learning and deeply enthusiastic about computer intelligence. From a young age, I was captivated by our capacity to shape the world with knowledge. My quest for understanding and problem-solving with tech and ingenuity led me through diverse sectors including electronics design, aerial and underwater robotics, special effects, finance, and human layer security. My record boasts successful contributions to companies like Tessian, Goldman Sachs, and Globo Studios.

At Goldman Sachs, as a Full Stack Engineer, I played a pivotal role in developing self-service tools for financial reporting. I developed the user interface using React.js, while the backend was powered by Java with Spring. I architected data enrichment processes harnessing Apache Spark and created features allowing non-engineers to understand business logic definitions, enhancing transparency and user-friendliness.

Transitioning to Tessian, I delved deep into backend engineering, particularly in a cloud environment. At Tessian, I honed my expertise in AWS and handled applications developed in Python, containerized using Docker. One of my significant achievements was enabling services to auto-scale in response to demand, crucial for an infrastructure processing millions of emails daily. Additionally, I oversaw a massive data migration from PostgresDB to DynamoDB, ensuring no loss of vital email statistics using Amazon Kinesis streams. I also embraced modern CI/CD practices, integrating tools like Git, CircleCI, and Concourse.

Earlier in my journey, at Rede Globo, I combined software with entertainment, creating special physical effects for top Brazilian TV shows using robotics. Though more hardware-centric, I developed tools enhancing the workflow of the Special Effects department and supported the VFX team with valuable data acquisition.

Throughout my tenure, I've acquired proficiency in a gamut of tools and languages, such as Python, Docker, React.js, Java, and AWS, positioning myself as a versatile software professional with a robust problem-solving acumen.
