He combines hands-on implementation with technical leadership—mentoring teams through modernization efforts that cut support effort and unlock engineering velocity. Based in Lisbon, he brings practical entrepreneurial experience from running Perfect Patch Networking and earlier web development ventures, giving him a pragmatic lens on delivery and operations.
