Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Gonçalves is a Head of Engineering based in London with 14+ years building distributed systems from Java EE and OSGi through Scala/FP to modern TypeScript and React stacks. He combines hands-on architecture and system design with people leadership—having hired and managed teams up to six engineers and stepped into engineering management roles at scale-ups like Babylon and tray.io. His background spans research-grade rigor (PhD-level study and R&D roles) to product delivery, and he brings practical DevOps experience with Terraform and Kubernetes alongside deep networking, IAM and scripting skills. Equally comfortable in functional-programming paradigms and pragmatic product engineering, he’s an engineer-scientist-hacker who enjoys turning complex, research-informed ideas into production systems.
