Hey there! I’m Paulo, a seasoned software developer with over 15 years of experience, currently serving as a Senior Security Engineer at Spotify. Throughout my career, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting secure distributed systems and contributing to open-source libraries across various industries. As a core developer in the realm of reactive systems, I’ve played a pivotal role in powering high-performance frameworks that you might use daily.

In addition to my contributions, I’ve championed the implementation of one of the pioneering Passkey (FIDO2 conformant) open-source libraries for the JVM. Beyond coding, I’m deeply passionate about advocating for robust security standards. I firmly believe in the importance of threat modeling and harbor a strong dislike for security theater.
