Marco Aurelio Molinaro

With a career spanning since 1989, I combine deep hands-on engineering with leadership across telecom, finance, pharma, and digital TV. Today I serve as Senior Developer at Vivo (Telefónica), building and maintaining core APIs that power B2B/B2C channels, integrating ML artifacts for pricing/marketing decisions, and owning DevOps for the squad. My stack includes Java, Spring Boot/Cloud, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Docker/Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, Argo CD, Jenkins, and CI/CD best practices. I also design and maintain data syncs and domain APIs (e.g., CNPJ segmentation, protocol history) consumed at scale across the organization.

Previously at GFT I led backend teams on Open Finance and modernization programs, guided architecture and technical requirements, maintained legacy estates for multiple clients, and contributed as a Kafka Streams developer. I engineered microservices on AWS and automated pipelines with Jenkins, accelerating deployments by roughly 45%. My broader toolkit spans Quarkus, EJB, REST/Apigee, relational and NoSQL databases, GitHub/GitLab, Sonar, and agile at scale (Scrum/Kanban/SAFe). Earlier roles include Senior Java Consultant at Provider-IT and Embedded Systems Software Engineer at Mirakulo, where I implemented a C++ porting layer for the AstroTV middleware deployed in Brazil and across Asia. My foundation includes impactful stints at IBM, Global Hitss, HP/EDS, and others, delivering integrations (Camel, TeMIP/UCA), ETL and billing modules, IVR/Avaya solutions, and high-performance C/C++ services on Unix/Linux.

I’m versatile across languages (Java, C++, C, COBOL) and platforms (Unix/Linux/Windows), comfortable from low-level systems through cloud-native backends and modern web (Angular/React/Node). I’m fluent with REST design, asynchronous messaging, observability, automated testing, and production hardening in regulated environments. My academic background includes an MBA in Data Science & Analytics (USP/ESALQ, 2024), plus prior MBAs/post-grads in Information Systems, Business Management, and Analysis/Project Management.

I invest continuously in upskilling: Google Cloud Associate Engineer (2025), CSPO (2024), ITIL and PSM I, Oracle Cloud certifications, and Confluent/Kafka accreditations, complemented by multi-cloud badges (GFT) and extensive training on APIs (Apigee), security, and DevOps. I’m a native Portuguese speaker with advanced English, Brazilian and Italian citizenship, and availability to travel. Colleagues rely on me to translate complex requirements into robust, maintainable solutions, mentor teams, and ship reliably—from architecture through delivery—under agile practices and real-world constraints.
