David Brito is a Principal Software Engineer with 16 years of experience blending environmental science and software engineering to deliver numerical models and production-grade hydrodynamics tooling. He has driven development of MOHID Land and MOHID Water (Fortran) and built desktop and full-stack web GIS solutions (C#, JavaScript, SQL) for watershed, coastal and water-quality applications. At Bentley and previously Action Modulers and MARETEC, he has applied models like SWAT, CE-QUAL-W2, SWMM, SWAN and WRF to projects from meter-scale plots to 100,000 km2 transboundary basins. Fluent in C#, JavaScript and Fortran, he bridges research and product delivery—turning complex hydrological science into usable engineering software and web services. Based in Lisbon, he combines a PhD in Environmental Engineering with hands-on implementation skills, often contributing low-level numerical features that aren’t visible in user-facing GUIs.
