Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Alves is a Director of Software Engineering based in Porto with 12+ years leading payments and product teams at Booking.com and a 15+ year background in software development. He combines hands-on engineering experience—from bootstrapping startups and building Ruby on Rails products to architecting payment migrations at scale—with people leadership that has promoted developers into senior and lead roles. At Booking.com he drove the migration of accommodation payments to a new infrastructure while introducing processes and tooling to improve technical quality and experiment-driven decision making. Comfortable in fast-iteration environments, he has built visualization and reporting tools that surfaced real-time business impact and improved cross-team visibility. Daniel’s design background and history of learning new technologies quickly (including shipping an iOS app with no prior mobile experience) give him a pragmatic, user-focused perspective on complex engineering problems.
