At AgilityFeat, we’re proud to work with nearshore software developers who don’t just write code, they design systems that deliver meaningful value for users and businesses. One great example is Michel Azevedo, a senior engineer from Brazil with over 15 years of experience in building scalable, resilient applications.
Michel is fluent in technologies like Ruby on Rails, Go, Python, and GraphQL and has extensive experience designing data pipelines, event-driven architectures, and analytics systems that stand up to real-world demands.
Turning Data Into Actionable Insights
In a recent project with an EdTech client, Michel transformed previously unavailable data into actionable insights by designing a system that processed millions of messages asynchronously to measure course progress.
His design addressed critical engineering challenges:
- Scalability & Low Latency: Leveraging async processing, caching, and background jobs for efficient metric aggregation.
- Fault Tolerance & Resilience: Decoupling the system from other services to improve reliability under load.
- Observability: Adding monitoring and diagnostics to proactively address future issues.
Real Results Delivered
Michel’s work drove measurable impact for the client’s platform, including:
- Eliminating timeouts under heavy load
- Reducing response times by 60%
- Improving visibility into user actions by 80%
- Increasing course completion rates by 15%
Engineering with Impact
Michel exemplifies what makes nearshore talent from Latin America so valuable: technical depth, system-level thinking, and a focus on real-world outcomes.
If you’re looking for developers who can build scalable applications and write code that’s easy to maintain, Michel is exactly the kind of talent you’ll find at AgilityFeat.
