Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Neves is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in distributed systems and functional programming, currently building product at Raycast while running his own consultancy, Goju Tech AB. He has a strong systems pedigree from roles at Daily, Embark Studios, DICE, and Klarna, shipping backend and cross-platform WebRTC libraries using Rust, Go, Scala, Erlang and WebAssembly. João blends hands-on engineering with architectural thinking—designing cloud-native, Kubernetes-deployed services and cross-platform libraries that span mobile, desktop and web. His MSc in Distributed Systems underpins a pragmatic approach to reliability and performance, and he frequently tackles language-level challenges across multiple ecosystems. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between founding companies and contributing deep technical IC work, making him equally effective in product-facing and low-level systems tasks.
