About

I'm a Software Developer and Architect with over 15 years of experience designing and scaling distributed systems, leading engineering teams and guiding product growth from startup stage to millions of daily transactions.

Graduated in Computer Science at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, I'm focused on scalable architectures, resilience and team enablement, with hands-on expertise across the full software development lifecycle. Deeply passionate about technology, continuous learning, and collaboration, and motivated by solving complex challenges that drive meaningful impact.

Beyond technology, I'm forever curious person and eager to learn all kind of subjects and I'm also passionate about creativity and movement. I have a small garden and I'm an avid social dancer and perform choreographies with a local group.

Based in Portugal and currently open to remote opportunities.

Work

Currently having fun at Omnibees, a product for hotels and other partners in tourism and hospitality, distributed in the form of SaaS and market leader in Latin America. The company has grown from 5 to nearly 400 people in 8 years.
I'm one of the architects and lead of the development team and a founding member. I'm a strong enthusiast of an agile, people centric and inspiring culture and even blog about it.
We deal with hundreds of millions of transactions per day and the technology involved cuts across several areas like large scale front-end, api integrations, scalability and high availability in microservices and databases and so on. Everything we do we have service speed and cost performance in mind.
On a daily basis challenges arise, requiring a constant learning and self-overcoming.

Previous experience

Interests

My hobbies reflect my constant drive to learn and explore new ideas.

Some are closely connected to my work and curiosity about technology. I enjoy building and experimenting with side projects, recently hacking around AI with GPUs and setting up my own smart home with Home Assistant, some Shellys and other sensors. I also pretty much try to fix everything that is not working around me (so)

Beyond technology, I'm passionate about social dancing, where I perform choreography as part of a group. Staying active is important to me, so I also go to the gym and walk — whether in the city or in nature.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking care of my pets, and tending a small garden of herbs and hack things around my house.

From time to time I also like to grab the backpack and head out with friends to explore our beautiful blue dot. I’m curious about slow travel and volunteering opportunities.
