Software Engineer · Tech Lead · São Paulo

Software, data and governed AI that turn into business results.

8+ years building scalable, well-architected platforms. Today at B3, I lead squads in data engineering and governed AI — and I bring the same engineering to projects on demand.

Services

Four fronts, one engineering mindset

I solve real operational pains with the same technical discipline I apply in mission-critical environments: clean architecture, observability and a focus on outcomes.

  • Process automation

    Pain: manual tasks drain your team.

    I automate repetitive workflows and integrate systems that don't talk to each other, with reliable, versioned pipelines — less rework, more predictability.

  • AI solutions

    Pain: AI promises a lot and delivers risk.

    Agents and LLMs with end-to-end governance: security and PII guardrails, cost control and auditability. AI that can truly go to production.

  • Web development

    Pain: a slow, fragile system that won't scale.

    Fast, well-architected web applications — frontend, APIs and integrations — built with Clean Architecture and tests to last and evolve.

  • Data intelligence

    Pain: scattered data that never drives decisions.

    ETL, medallion architecture and dashboards that turn scattered data into a single source of truth — analytical autonomy for technical and business teams.

Cases

Problem → solution → result

The same cases prove technical depth for those reviewing my profile and delivery capability for those hiring a project.

B3 · Enterprise AI platform

Governed AI at enterprise scale

Problem

Adopting generative AI in a mission-critical institution without governance exposes you to security, PII and runaway-cost risks.

Solution

A governed agent platform with security/PII guardrails, LLM cost control, a model catalog and end-to-end auditability.

Result

AI enabled in production and used daily across the division, with governance that unlocked new use cases.

B3 · Data engineering

A Data Mesh as the single source of truth

Problem

Infra & Operations data trapped in silos, with ungoverned ETLs and scattered direct access to APIs.

Solution

A Data Mesh on Databricks in a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold), consolidating access into a standardized data layer.

Result

A single source of truth for the whole division, the end of silos, and reduced cost tied to hardware/software obsolescence.

~50 governed tables

Own product · SaaS

Make My Memory — from zero to operation

Problem

Make it simple to create and share digital memories of events, as a product that sustains itself.

Solution

Conceived, architected and fully built a SaaS with React, Java and PostgreSQL, from product to operation.

Result

A platform launched and operated independently, with strong engagement and positive feedback on usability and performance.

About

Engineering connected to business value

Portrait of Leonardo Giraldi

I'm a software engineer and tech lead with more than 8 years of experience. I built my career at B3, the Brazilian stock exchange, growing from junior to technical leader in a highly critical environment — where resilience, security and clean architecture are not optional.

I enjoy problems where engineering becomes measurable results: taking AI out of the lab and into production with governance, turning scattered data into decisions, automating what steals people's time. I bring that same discipline to on-demand projects for companies that need software, automation, AI or data intelligence done with care.
