Summary
Diogo Ferreira is a Principal Security Architect and seasoned technology leader with over a decade of experience turning C-level and customer requirements into high-performance, scalable products. He blends deep academic expertise in network coding and distributed systems with hands-on leadership across startups and scale-ups, having co-founded two companies and led engineering teams at Codavel, NPAW, Cloudflare and now Scopely. Diogo excels at building cloud-native, secure architectures and incubation-grade products (notably Cloudflare Workflows/Durable Execution) under uncertainty, while keeping delivery and performance front and center. His background as a PhD candidate and researcher gives him a rare edge in protocol design and network coding techniques that drive bandwidth and reliability gains. Based in Porto, he is results-oriented, creative, and equally comfortable making strategic decisions or diving into low-level system design — and he brings an unexpected passion for aviation to his problem-solving mindset.
