Top SchoolJoão Alves is a Principal Software Engineer based in Porto with 12 years of experience building high-availability WebRTC and RCS telco solutions, gateways, and cloud-native back ends that bridge signaling and media for VoIP clients. He combines deep protocol expertise (SIP, MSRP, RTP/(S)RTP, WebRTC) with hands-on skills in Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, FastAPI and distributed datastores (Postgres, Cassandra), delivering multi-million-user platforms and performance-focused refactors. João has led teams to productionize autonomous testing, CI/CD and deployment pipelines using Ansible, Jenkins, OpenStack and AWS, and has applied cutting-edge LLMs to engineer internal knowledge bases and productivity tools. Equally at home on front-end WebSockets/HTML5 stacks as he is optimizing low-latency media paths, he also pursues graphics programming privately (OpenGL/GLSL), reflecting a practical curiosity that informs both systems design and developer tooling.
