Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Gonçalves is a Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, blending hands-on engineering with team leadership to deliver real-world, low-latency GenAI features for telecom products. He specializes in turning experimental GenAI ideas into production-grade, real-time voice experiences and excels at balancing rapid prototyping with maintainability and delivery. João’s background leading European R&D projects in 5G, B5G, PPDR and IoT shaped his approach to distributed systems, multi-partner collaboration, and pragmatic architecture decisions. He is comfortable in high-uncertainty environments, often organizing work, resolving cross-team dependencies, and mentoring engineers to raise team effectiveness. Based in Coimbra, Portugal, he pairs technical curiosity and tooling experimentation with a strong focus on clear communication and measurable product outcomes. Outside engineering he’s an avid cook, photographer and racket-sports player who brings the same iterative curiosity to hobbies—and an opinionated cat—into his life.
