Summary
Diogo Parrinha is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience who currently leads teams at Amplemarket, combining hands-on technical depth with people-first leadership. He has founded multiple product ventures—most recently CookMe, a pantry-integrated recipe app that used AI to generate recipes and ran on a Java/Kotlin backend in AWS—demonstrating a knack for shipping full-stack mobile products. At Feedzai he scaled Customer Success engineering across LATAM and NAMER, standardizing practices and emphasizing team autonomy and healthy work-life balance. His background spans embedded-to-cloud systems from early open-source MyBB plugin work to enterprise fraud-detection platforms, backed by an MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico. Colocated in Lisbon, he brings entrepreneurial curiosity and a pragmatic focus on scalability, efficiency, and developer enablement. An unusual thread through his career is persistent product-building outside corporate roles, reflecting a builder’s mindset even while leading teams.
