👋 Hi there

I'm Eduardo Almeida, a Senior Software Engineer specializing in financial infrastructure, blockchain systems, and scalable backend architectures.

Currently at LootRush, I'm working on a stablecoin platform that connects multiple blockchains with real-world payment systems, including on/off-ramps, card infrastructure, and cross-chain liquidity flows.

My work focuses on building high-performance systems for crypto payments and financial operations, handling complex scenarios like cross-chain transactions, asset conversions, and reliable transaction processing at scale.

🚀 What I do

• Design and build financial systems on top of blockchain (stablecoins, on/off-ramps, payment flows)
• Architect scalable backend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and microservices
• Work with distributed systems on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS)
• Handle high-throughput transaction systems with strong consistency and reliability
• Build and optimize cross-chain operations (bridges, swaps, liquidity routing)

🧠 Tech & Focus Areas

• Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, SQL
• Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Observability (Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Blockchain: EVM, smart wallets (ERC-4337), cross-chain protocols
• Data: PostgreSQL, event-driven architectures, CQRS

⚡ Philosophy

I focus on building systems that are simple, scalable, and reliable — especially in complex domains like payments and blockchain, where correctness and performance are critical.
