👤
SeniorRodrigo Fagundes is a technical lead and engineering manager with two decades of hands-on experience delivering full-stack web and data platforms across Python, Go, Java, R and modern cloud-native toolchains. He blends deep systems work—Hadoop data lakes, vector DBs, RAG/Chroma integrations and ML pipelines—with pragmatic leadership that emphasizes autonomy, lean practices and measurable outcomes. Rodrigo has led cross-functional teams to cut costs, improve observability and deploy consensus-driven agentic systems that increase process efficiency in public and private sectors. Notably, he co-founded the Decent Labor Platform (smartlabbr.org), taking a project from Vue.js front end through Hadoop ingestion and ML models to influence UN and World Bank conversations. Comfortable toggling between architecture and on-call engineering, he coaches managers in organizational culture while still shipping APIs and pipelines that drive impact. Based in Stratford, Ontario, he pairs an academic background in information science with a track record of translating complex public-data problems into operational, transparent solutions.
