Top SchoolAlexandre Dos Santos is a founding software engineer and product-minded architect with 11 years of experience building scalable web platforms and teams from Lisbon. He combines hands-on full‑stack development (TypeScript, Node, Next.js, Ember, GraphQL) with strategic leadership—having grown engineering orgs from zero to 20 and launched customer-facing marketplaces and back-office systems. As Head of Engineering he drove architecture, DDD adoption, testing and CI/CD practices; today he splits time founding KYD Labs and Rprt.ai while advising startups like Agroop. Active in open source, he has contributed to MirageJS projects, improving build scripts, tests and internal integrations—showing a practical focus on maintainability and developer experience. He’s known for translating business needs into pragmatic technical roadmaps and for mentoring teams to ship high-quality products quickly. An interesting detail: he blends early product instincts with low-level refactors, often tackling brittle internals to enable faster, safer delivery.
