Summary
João Monteiro is a senior engineering manager and architect with over two decades of hands-on experience in Java and a decade-plus background in Android, now leading teams at HiveMQ from Berlin. He has driven large-scale, cross-team architecture at Klarna for 120+ engineers and led engineering organizations at SumUp, Lightspeed and GoEuro, blending microservices, cloud and agile practices.
