Software Engineer | Distributed Systems
Rodrigo Alves
I design and build high-performance distributed systems — from real-time streaming engines to GPU platforms.
19+ years operating at the intersection of systems engineering and large-scale cloud systems. I specialize in turning complex ideas into production systems — with a focus on performance, determinism, and observability.
Featured Projects
Chronusphaera
A system-level observability platform for streaming engines. Provides event lineage tracing, real-time topology visualization, and latency/throughput analysis across distributed pipelines.
Explore ChronusphaeraChronuSQL
A streaming SQL engine designed for real-time event processing and unbounded temporal pattern matching. Includes query compilation, execution pipelines, and deep observability into event flow and state.
