Iggor Alves

Backend-focused Software Engineer (Java, Clojure, Kotlin) with 10+ years of experience. I design, build, and operate resilient services—end‑to‑end—from product discovery to production reliability.

  • Currently building fintech systems at QuintoAndar, focusing on payments, credit, and risk.
  • Comfortable across the stack: from backend and data pipelines to cloud, CI/CD, and a bit of frontend when it helps the mission.
  • Pragmatic by default: prefer clear designs, simple APIs, strong tests, and excellent observability.

What I do

  • Design and implement distributed systems and event-driven architectures
  • Model domains with DDD and ship evolvable APIs
  • Improve performance (profiling, JVM tuning, caching, indexing) and reliability (SLOs, incident response)
  • Build robust pipelines and developer tooling (CI/CD, testcontainers, ephemeral envs)
  • Apply solid security practices for fintech workloads

Tech I enjoy

Java Kotlin Clojure Spring Boot Kafka PostgreSQL Redis Elasticsearch Docker Kubernetes AWS Terraform GitHub Actions Prometheus Grafana Gradle Maven


Principles I work by

  • Keep systems observable: metrics, traces, logs first-class
  • Prefer boring tech for critical paths; innovate where it pays off
  • Small, frequent releases with strong tests > big-bang launches
  • Clear ownership, helpful runbooks, and humane on-call
  • Code is for people first—clarity beats cleverness

Recent focus

  • High-throughput services for payments and credit decisioning
  • Event-driven workflows with strong idempotency and exactly-once semantics where it matters
  • Data quality, schema evolution, and safe migrations
  • Platform foundations: CI speed, test reliability, and DX

Selected topics I like to talk about

  • JVM performance, GC, and profiling in production
  • Event orchestration vs. choreography, Sagas, and outbox patterns
  • API design (REST/HTTP), backward compatibility, and versioning
  • Observability with SLOs and practical incident analysis
  • Clojure in production: simplicity, REPL-driven dev, and interop
