Summary
Diogo Alves is a software engineering leader with 12+ years of hands-on experience architecting and shipping production-grade systems across embedded, backend and AI domains. As Manager of Software Engineering for AI at GLS he created and now runs three AI Development Hubs that deliver scalable, KPI-driven AI solutions deployed in over ten European countries and producing strong ROI. He combines low-level systems experience (C/C++, device protocols, IoT, Raspberry Pi/Arduino) with cloud and service-oriented engineering (Java, C#, Python, microservices, APIs, CI/CD), enabling end-to-end ownership from prototype to rollout. A practical coach and educator, he runs workshops and internal AI literacy programmes to raise capability across organisations while mentoring engineering teams. Diogo is equally comfortable building hardware emulators and automation servers as he is defining AI governance, agentic engineering practices and production standards. Based in Mafra/Lisbon, he pairs maker curiosity with measurable business impact.
