I am Alexandre Ruoso — a Software Engineering Manager and Software Architect with over 20 years of experience delivering high-impact digital solutions.
My approach is defined by a unique professional evolution: I have transitioned from being a hands-on Founder to a specialist in Process Management, allowing me to move beyond managing code to managing the flow of value
My Strategic Philosophy: Engineering as a Business Process
I believe that engineering excellence is not just about writing clean code—it is about ensuring that every technical decision directly aligns with ROI and corporate strategic goals.
Process-Driven Leadership: Leveraging my background from FGV (Fundação Getúlio Vargas), I apply formal Process Management frameworks to optimize the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Architectural Resilience: I treat quality as a non-negotiable standard, championing Test-Driven Development (TDD)and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to provide teams with the “fearless refactoring” capability required for mission-critical systems.
Inclusive by Design: As a long-time advocate for W3C/WCAG Accessibility, I build digital services that are future-proofed for millions of citizens, ensuring compliance and social responsibility are baked into the architecture.
2026 Context: AI-Augmented Engineering
In the current landscape, I lead the integration of AI-augmented development tools to perform deep code evaluation and performance profiling.
By leveraging tools like GitHub Copilot and LLMs for engineering, I have successfully achieved up to a 30% increase in productivity for complex refactoring and algorithm selection, allowing teams to focus on high-level architecture and creative problem-solving.

Quality as a Managed Process
I don’t just “write code” — I build resilient systems. By championing Test-Driven Development (TDD) and a rigorous DevOps culture, I treat software quality as a manageable business process. This approach significantly reduces technical debt and ensures that the platforms I architect are ready to scale alongside the business.
