Summary
Yaks Souza is a pragmatic software engineer with eight years building high-throughput, production-grade systems across HealthTech, FinTech, market data and tourism, frequently operating services that handle tens of thousands of users and terabytes of daily data. He is fluent in Go and Python and has delivered secure, microservices-based payment and tokenization platforms that integrate with major Brazilian brands, as well as pricing engines and digital-prescription systems. Comfortable owning delivery end-to-end, he has led feature teams, reduced critical user-facing defects to zero, and managed CI/CD, cloud and messaging at scale. Notable for bridging low-level languages (C/C++) and modern cloud tooling, he combines systems thinking with practical DevOps skills (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ) to solve high-risk, high-load problems. Based in Maranhão, Brazil, he describes himself as a relentless dreamer who learns by iterating rapidly on bold ideas.
