I’m Rodrigo Bressan, born and raised in Brazil, and living in Italy since 2019. On my free time, I am usually:

  • Doing outdoor activities: rock climbing/bouldering, windsurfing, cycling
  • Practicing a new language on Duolingo
  • Baking some focaccia
  • Working on my VW T4 Campervan: recently re-designing the solar-powered grid

And when I am not doing any of the above, I am probably working on some side projects

Work

I have been working with software engineering since 2015, and in the past 4 years, I have been focusing on building health tech products. My interest in healthcare grew when I started working in a project sponsored by the Bill and Mellinda Gates Foundation, where I had the opportunity to work on the development of a platform to identify and track the main factors behind child mortality. If you are curious about the project, click here.

Since then, I have been working on several projects in the health tech space, some examples being:

  • Developing a platform to notify caregivers for epilepsia patients when they are about to have a seizure
  • Building a platform for early respiratory disease detection, for the case of COVID-19, in partnership with the University of Stanford, US department of Health and UK National Health System
  • Working on Remote Patient Monitoring solutions, for both Clinical Trials and Research purposes

Over the past years, I have been working on a wide range of areas, such as:

  • Cloud: AWS, Google Cloud
  • Data Processing: Anonymization, Record Linkage, AWS Glue, Athena, Redshift, S3, Python
  • DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD
  • Backend: Go, Python and Java
  • Frontend: React, Vue
  • Regulatory: HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001
  • Machine Learning: Keras, TensorFlow

Currently

Currently, I work as a Team Leader managing a team of 7 engineers, spanning from front-end, backend and DevOps. My main duties are:

  • Coordinate the team’s activities and priorities
  • Help the team to grow and develop their skills (1:1s, mentoring, etc)
  • Work with the product team to define the roadmap
  • Work with the engineering team to define the technical roadmap
  • Pull my sleeves up and code
  • Fight with the product team to get more engineers 😅
