My nickname is bovino and my name is Marcelo Bezerra (but people have usually and consistently called me by my nickname in the last 20 years or so). I am a software engineer who started programming in 2002, and in the last years i focused my career on backend development and API-related stuff, including API design, API Gateways, Microservices architecture and system integrations.
I am a winner of the Kong 2022 Hackaton (https://twitter.com/thekonginc/status/1577282942094790656), i am a member of the Kong Champions program (https://konghq.com/kong-champions) and i had the honor to speak in conferences like Kong HQ "Destination:Scale" (https://konghq.com/events/destination-scale) and TDC - The Developers Conference (https://thedevconf.com/). Well yes, i enjoy the topics "API" and "API Gateway" :-D
