emerson lopes

hi, i'm emerson — a senior software engineer based in são paulo, brazil.

i build backend systems and platform infrastructure for large-scale saas products. most of my work involves designing services that need to be reliable, scalable, and maintainable — the kind of problems where good architecture decisions compound over time.

currently at luxury presence, where i've grown from junior to senior engineer over the past 5+ years. outside of work, i'm pursuing an m.sc. in computer science and exploring how ai is changing the way we build software.
