About

Hi there! I’m Leandro, a Senior Software Engineer based in Braga, Portugal 🇵🇹

I specialize in backend development with Python, focusing on building scalable, maintainable systems using asyncio, Kafka, and PostgreSQL.

Over my 7+ years in the industry, I’ve worked across the full stack: from Android development and embedded systems to infrastructure optimization and architectural design.

I’m passionate about technology and engineering. I’m familiar with clean architecture and its importance into application design, microservices and event driven designs, but most interested in performance optimization, and pragmatic engineering decisions that balance technical excellence with real-world constraints.

On this blog, I share practical tutorials, architectural insights, and lessons learned from tackling complex backend challenges. Whether it’s FastAPI patterns, async programming, or system design, my goal is to help you think better about constraints, and how build more maintainable systems.
