Hi, I'm Lucas.

Software engineer, 24, based in Brazil.

Since 2021 I've been a senior backend engineer at LoverCraftLoverCraft LLC, a Minecraft multiplayer server that has peaked at 1,500 concurrent players and holds 300–450 on a normal evening, with 30+ cross-server services spread across several DebianDebian hosts. I'm responsible for new features, bug fixes, low-latency cross-server state over RedisRedis, data-driven economy balancing, and end-to-end telemetry on ClickHouseClickHouse that feeds revenue and player-UX improvements.

Before that I spent five years at Senior SistemasSenior Sistemas, in the software factory. I started as an intern and served large clients like Kinross Gold Corporation, Olfar, Petrobras, Banco BMG and Grendene, building tailor-made solutions in JavaJava, Spring BootSpring Boot, AngularAngular and FlutterFlutter. By the end of my run there I owned the factory's architecture area: technical reference for the teams, creating solutions that helped build and maintain the clients' systems, working with DockerDocker, AWSAWS and internal Windows and Linux VMs.

Senior Backend Engineer · LoverCraft LLC

I've been directly responsible for two gamemodes built from scratch on a multi-server architecture (SkyBlock and OneBlock), working with NMS daily. Some of the projects I've worked on: AuctionHouse, Dungeons, Mail System, Gift System, Leaderboards, backend improvements to cut cross-server teleport times, Bedrock improvements, custom mobs with ModelEngine and MythicMobs, custom items through the resource pack, fallback systems so the server stays perfectly playable without the resource pack, resource pack optimization to use up to 40% less VRAM, and I am directly responsible for Sculk, our telemetry of every inch of the server using ClickHouse and dashboards. Team of 3 to 5 people most of the time.

SculkClickHouseKotlinTypeScript

LoverCraftLoverCraftprivate

End-to-end telemetry for the whole network: every gamemode emits typed events into ClickHouse, and dashboards answer questions about retention, economy balance and the journey of a new player.

Spring BootRedisKubernetesTerraformfanloop

Self-hostable real-time fan-out gateway. A Redis pub/sub backplane delivers every event across all server replicas, with no sticky sessions.

tickloopJavaSpring Boot

Real-time JVM toolkit: a tick scheduler with main-thread safety, backpressure queues, and latency histograms. The patterns come from five years of running a live multiplayer backend.

GoPostgreSQLpgcraft

lazygit-style terminal UI for PostgreSQL: schema browser, SQL editor, EXPLAIN view and live activity, all keyboard-driven. Ships as a multi-arch Docker image.
