About Me
Senior software developer with 15+ years building real-time SCADA, HMI and industrial communication software for the power sector (transmission/distribution substations and control centers). I work in the exact stack the Ignition platform is built on: Java on the JVM, Python (the same family as Ignition's Jython scripting), SQL and OPC/OPC UA, on Linux. Hands-on with tag-based real-time data, operator HMI screens, industrial protocols (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, IEC 60870), configuration tooling, IT/OT integration and high-availability (hot stand-by) design. I ramp quickly on Ignition (Perspective/Vision, Gateway, UDTs/templates, tag historian, alarming, Jython scripting) thanks to a directly transferable background. An autonomous problem solver, comfortable owning features end to end in mission-critical, high-uptime environments, delivering in agile (Scrum) teams and collaborating remotely across time zones. Based in Brazil (UTC-3) with strong overlap with US business hours, a dedicated home office and fast fiber internet.

Why Choose Me
I bring the asset-owner perspective of a major power utility plus 15+ years actually building the software — real-time SCADA, HMI and industrial protocols — in the exact Java + Python/Jython + SQL + OPC UA stack that Ignition runs on. I own problems end to end, work autonomously, and deliver reliable software in mission-critical, high-availability environments, fully remote with strong US-hours overlap.
