About Me

Backend Software Engineer from Brazil focused on Java and Spring Boot. I build and evolve APIs and integrations used in critical banking workflows, where reliability, security, and clear contracts matter as much as delivery speed.

Day to day, I work with REST and SOAP services, relational databases, authentication with JWT / OAuth2, and the practical side of modernizing legacy stacks (JSP/JSF/Thymeleaf) without breaking production systems.

I also use AI tools as part of my engineering workflow — for faster exploration, code review support, refactoring ideas, and clearer documentation — while keeping ownership of design decisions, edge cases, and production quality. I am actively learning how to apply LLMs in backend products (assisted coding, internal tooling, and API-based integrations), not as a replacement for engineering judgment.

This site is my interactive portfolio: Beecrowd-inspired challenges solved in Java, with readable code, explanations, and a live runner so you can see how I approach problems — often looking for simpler, more elegant solutions instead of only “passing” the case.

I am looking for remote opportunities abroad where I can contribute to backend systems, collaborate in English (B1 and improving), and keep growing in distributed architecture and AI-assisted development. Reach me at kleber-r@outlook.com.

What I Value

Production trust

Secure, predictable backends for business-critical flows — especially in regulated contexts.

Pragmatic modernization

Improving legacy systems step by step without sacrificing stability or delivery.

AI with judgment

Using AI to move faster, then validating with tests, review, and real-world constraints.

Remote-ready collaboration

Clear communication, ownership, and code that other engineers can understand quickly.
