About

Professional summary

Senior Backend Software Engineer and Architect with 17 years of experience. Enthusiast of Strong Typed Languages like GOlang, Typescript, and C#. In every project I design data schema and infrastructure as a code, set up CI and CD to streamline processes, and focus on actual business goals. I’m using the validated output of AI assistants like Claude as tooling daily. Open for new knowledge, skills, and opportunities! I enjoy attending conferences as a speaker and giving technology talks. Flexible and self-motivated, I enjoy technical challenges and engineering problems, architecture, and infrastructure work. Prefer to move fast and take pragmatic weighted decisions, based on real necessity. Proud husband and father of two daughters! Junior yacht skipper! Live in Portugal and benefit from working in the UTC timezone.
