Hi, I'm João Marcus Fernandes

Staff Software Engineer | Back-end Specialist

Tech Lead | Cloud Computing | Go / Golang | Node.js | MongoDB

I’m a passionate software engineer since 2014, I have experience building scalable and efficient systems. I’ve had the opportunity to work with companies across the globe, including Brazil, North America, Europe, and Asia, gaining a deep understanding of diverse tech ecosystems.

I specialize in Back-end development, with a strong focus on Go (Golang) and Node.js, and have extensive experience designing and optimizing cloud-native architectures using AWS and GCP. My expertise also includes working with MongoDB for database solutions and leveraging modern technologies like JavaScript/TypeScript (React.js, Next.js, Vue.js), Python, and Ruby (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra) to deliver robust, high-performance applications.

Whether it’s leading technical teams, architecting scalable systems, or mentoring developers, I’m driven by the challenge of solving complex problems and delivering impactful solutions.

Work Experience

June 2014

Present

Software Engineer - Staff

Arctouch

Duration: 04/2022 - Present

After some time, I got promoted to Master Software Engineer (Staff Level), which meant my responsibilities expanded beyond my previous role as a Senior Software Engineer.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have taken on Tech Lead roles and contribute to the strategic development path for projects, and teams, working closely with managers to plan and chart strategies. I collaborate with the management team to identify areas of improvement and growth opportunities for the team members.

Mentorship has been a significant focus of my work. Through regular one-on-one sessions and group mentorship programs, I am helping them navigate challenges and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed.

I had to adapt to this role while still coding a lot, and I have been able to balance both roles. Most of the time, I worked in this role with Golang, React.js, and AWS. I have also worked closely with the DevOps team to improve our CI/CD pipelines and our code quality and security.
