Senior🎓
Top SchoolHenrique Rodrigues is a technical founder and product architect with nine years of experience building cloud-native, AI-first SaaS products and leading engineering teams. As founder of Hestia Forge and co-founder of Desperte.ai he designed and shipped an AI-native insurtech platform—complete with a proprietary "Hot 40" lead-scoring model, actuarial-grade financial calculators, and a serverless Next.js architecture—that gained ~200 B2B users within weeks. Previously Head of Software Engineering and Labs at TM Forum, he bridges standards-driven enterprise tooling with fast-moving startup execution. He combines hands-on architecture (LLMs, edge functions, serverless infra) and go-to-market product strategy, often translating complex actuarial and sales workflows into automated, revenue-driving features. Based in Cork, Ireland, Henrique brings founder-level commercial instincts to technical decisions and a knack for turning zero-to-one ideas into measurable traction.
