Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Filho is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over a decade of experience building scalable web platforms, startups, and research-focused software at MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence. He combines hands-on engineering—from Java Spring Boot and Python scoring services to ReactJS real-time apps—with a history of founding and scaling product-driven companies like Poup (acquired) and Viajala. At MIT he led complex migrations from legacy stacks to microservices, integrating diverse systems (Django, Node/Etherpad, Jitsi) to enable crowd-sourced research and conferencing tools. Trained in computer science with a master's in ubiquitous computing, he is language-agnostic but leans pragmatic toward Java and JavaScript, and he applies data-driven performance tuning (Redis, Pandas) to production problems. An execution-oriented entrepreneur and problem-solver, he repeatedly turns research prototypes into open-source platforms that support real user studies and climate-focused collaborations. Beyond code, he brings stubborn persistence in finding product-market fit and scaling solutions until they meaningfully impact people.
