About me
Product thinking,
engineering hands.
I’m a Senior Technical Product Manager and Full Stack Engineer based in Lisbon. I like the rare seat where the person deciding what to build is also comfortable building it.
For years I’ve worked at the intersection of product and deep technology — most recently making physical retail checkout-free at AiFi, where computer vision meets distributed systems at real-world scale. Before the roadmap exists, I’m running discovery; once it does, I’m in the codebase shipping it.
On the side I build RadFlow, an AI reporting assistant for radiologists — my proof that one person can still own a whole product loop. I care about secure-by-default systems (a small CNCF/SOPS contributor), the unglamorous nanoseconds of low-latency code, and giving back to the dev community that raised me. Outside work you’ll find me running — I just finished my first half marathon.
Capabilities
What I actually reach for.
No invented percentages — just an honest read on where each skill sits, and what I do with it.
Core day-to-day, what I’m known for
路
Fluent comfortable, ship with it
路
Learning actively levelling up
Product
Product StrategyCore
Turning a fuzzy problem into one clear, testable bet.
Roadmapping & PrioritisationCore
Saying no to good ideas so the great one ships.
Discovery & User ResearchFluent
I run the interviews before I write a line of code.
Data & ExperimentationFluent
Instrument it, measure it, kill what doesn’t move the metric.
Stakeholder LeadershipFluent
Keeping eng, design and business pointed the same way.
Engineering
React / TypeScriptCore
My daily driver for the best part of a decade.
Node & Go servicesCore
Where most of the backends I’ve shipped actually live.
Kubernetes & GitOpsCore
CKA + CKAD certified; I run this in production, not just slides.
Computer Vision / MLLearning
Enough to ship retail vision — I lean on the research team for the deep maths.
Low-latency SystemsLearning
I respect the nanoseconds; still learning the truly deep end.
