Engineering leader building thoughtful mobile products and AI-augmented software.
I combine 15+ years of software engineering with hands-on product delivery—from Swift and real-time mobile systems to practical AI workflows, reliable releases, and teams that ship.
About
Building software that holds up.
I build durable mobile products—the kind that stay coherent under pressure, stay maintainable as teams grow, and stay useful as requirements shift. My work spans architecture and real-time systems, analytical AI use, and the release infrastructure that makes delivery predictable.
I apply AI tools with engineering discipline: Claude Code and Codex accelerate planning, implementation, and review in my daily workflow, but human judgment—on architecture, correctness, and user experience—drives the decisions that matter.
Based in Portugal, I work comfortably across time zones and bring cross-functional technical leadership experience from automotive, smart home, telecom, health, secure messaging, and outdoor sports domains.
