Eric Gusmão

I’m a Backend Developer specializing in distributed systems, asynchronous processing, and cloud-native applications. I currently work at act digital on a business-critical project for Globo, Latin America’s largest media and communications group, where I maintain and evolve a high-scale Go platform, improve observability, build automated testing strategies, and integrate services across Google Cloud.

Previously, I led the architecture and development of a multi-tenant ERP at MSPA. I designed event-driven workflows with Google Pub/Sub, implemented PostgreSQL Row-Level Security, integrated Stripe, and introduced OpenTelemetry and Testcontainers. These improvements helped reduce critical production bugs by approximately 40%, cut incident resolution time by 50%, and shorten deployments from one hour to five minutes.

My experience also includes delivering web and mobile products at Next Opinion, from launching a financial ERP MVP in three months to improving the performance and infrastructure of Laravel-based enterprise platforms.

Beyond my professional work, I contribute to open-source projects in the Go and Ruby on Rails ecosystems and am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at UNIMA. I care deeply about clear architecture, reliable testing, thoughtful code reviews, and building software that remains resilient as it scales.
