Top SchoolEduardo Bouças is a Distinguished Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building developer-focused cloud and serverless platforms from Portugal.

A full‑stack engineer comfortable in JS/TS and Go, he has driven product work from CLI tooling to build orchestration and schedulers, and represented Netlify in standards and community forums. He is an active open-source maintainer—author of Staticman and contributor to the widely used Netlify CLI—bringing real-world production improvements across back-end, build systems and front-end tooling. Known as a thoughtful communicator and occasional speaker, he blends engineering leadership with hands-on coding and a habit of “always cooking a new project or two.” Outside work he preaches open source and writes on engineering topics, combining practical system design with developer advocacy.
