Bruno Almeida is a pragmatic backend-focused developer with 14 years' experience building reliable, high-performance systems for companies like Nokia, FAIRTIQ and Sky, and contributing to notable open-source projects such as scrcpy and Vert.x. He excels at finding and fixing elusive bugs, producing readable yet extremely robust code, and shipping no-downtime changes for production services (pricing engines, STB firmware tooling, and NAC). Comfortable across C, Java, Python and full-stack tools, he prefers minimal-magic frameworks (vert.x, jOOQ, FastAPI, Vue/plain DOM) and avoids heavy indirection like Spring or Hibernate. A bottom-up thinker with Asperger’s syndrome, he brings intense focus, perseverance and exacting standards—he requires detailed technical briefs and tooling information to do his best work. His open-source contributions range from Android UI/control improvements in scrcpy to MIME parsing and MIME negotiation in vertx-web, showing both systems-level rigor and pragmatic UX sensibility. Based in Lisbon, he pairs strong QA/sysadmin experience with a talent for building automation that reduces manual toil.
