Summary
Eduardo Alves is a Head of Engineering and serial founder with 8+ years of experience building and scaling high-throughput web services and blockchain products from Lisbon. He launched his first apps as a teen and later grew two startups—an Instagram growth platform and Pulsar Finance—into products serving 100k+ monthly active users and multi-million ARR before Pulsar was acquired by Terraform Labs. As Terraform’s Head of Engineering he led ~50 engineers across six teams, introduced standardized Agile practices that boosted velocity by over 30%, and performed technical due diligence on acquisitions. Technically hands-on, he architects distributed Python microservices, Redis-driven event systems and multi-chain blockchain integrations (120+ chains and 1,000+ DeFi protocols), while also recruiting, mentoring and shaping product roadmaps. He combines operator-level execution with a founder’s product intuition, notably building frameworks to normalize disparate blockchains for reliable portfolio tracking.
