Mauricio Belusso — Software Engineer
Systems that scale. Code that doesn’t break.
Pragmatic, predictable, and measurable engineering.
🧩 Engineering Principles
- Predictability over improvisation: architecture is planning, not reaction.
- Sustainable performance: optimization is not about speed — it’s about consistency.
- Functional simplicity: fewer abstractions, more clarity.
- Complexity cost: every if costs, every cache lies.
- Real scalability: systems shouldn’t rely on luck, but on design.
🏢 Professional Experience
🔹 Serasa (via Verx) — Judicial Systems and Anti-Fraud AI Engineering
Senior consultant leading the architectural and technical evolution of the judicial order processing system, focused on performance, scalability, and operational intelligence.
Key contributions:
- Complete redesign of the judicial annotation processing pipeline, integrating with a mainframe and automating large-scale file reading;
- New flow processed 100k lines in under 15 minutes, with automated validation and linking.
- Full digitalization of physical archives, unifying multiple data sources and metadata standards.
- Authenticated WebSocket implementation (no SockJS) for real-time communication between system modules.
- Resource optimization and autoscaling: memory usage dropped from 2 GB to 300–400 MB; pods reduced from 12 to 2 while keeping heap under 1 GB.
- Database tuning with dynamic indexing via Mongock, executed in background without blocking pod startup.
- Direct upload integration via signed URLs, offloading the API layer.
- AI proof-of-concept to interpret judicial orders, linking CPF and decisions while detecting potential fraud attempts.

Engineering consultant collaborating with Porto Bank, a fintech subsidiary of Porto Seguro, in a large-scale Java microservices ecosystem.
Focus on observability, stability, and REST integration tracing.
Key contributions:
- Detailed REST logging via Spring interceptors, tracing service-to-service calls for error, latency, and behavior tracking.
- Greatly improved diagnostic capability and incident visibility.
- Enhanced monitoring and reliability of distributed services:
- Log audits, incident analysis, and small-scale corrective improvements;
- Dashboard and alert refinements for clearer operational insights.
- Deployment execution via Jenkins and Terraform:
- Ran and validated 70+ microservices;
- Post-deployment checks ensuring REST communication integrity.
Stack: Java · Spring Boot · Jenkins · Terraform (execution) · Microservices · ELK Stack · Observability
Impact:
Expanded operational visibility and traceability in a distributed environment.
Targeted, high-precision contributions — practical and stable engineering under constraint.
🔹 Viasoft — Technical Leadership and Java Engineering Consolidation
Joined as a mid-level developer (Delphi) and advanced to technical and product lead.
Period of transition into Java engineering, taking ownership of architecture, team, and product direction.
Key contributions:
- Full refactor of a REST system initially built on singletons, migrating to a scalable, stateless design.
- Technical and product leadership: code review standards, delivery prioritization, and Scrum Master role.
- Sales Platform (Java + Angular + Android) — primary product under my direct leadership:
- Web admin module and Android field app;
- Stability and performance improvements across the stack;
- Continuous iteration based on reseller feedback.
- Supported additional corporate systems: ERP, logistics router, marketplace hub, and reporting tools.
- Team training and process standardization, ensuring stable builds and shared discipline.
