João Rufino is a bilingual Senior Software Development Engineer with nine years of experience building impactful, well-documented software and leading cross-functional teams across startups and research environments. Currently at Sword Health and a serial entrepreneur in Aveiro—founder of Septagon and co-founder of Comum Cowork—he blends hands-on engineering with product and organizational leadership. He has steered backend and DevOps efforts at Bosch and ARTIDIS, mentored other engineers, and brings research-rooted rigor from years at Instituto de Telecomunicações. Pursuing an MS in Cybersecurity, João pairs creative, out-of-the-box problem solving with a focus on secure, maintainable code and long-term stakeholder alignment. An unexpected strength is his ability to navigate operational constraints (including pandemic-era challenges) while sustaining team cohesion and delivery.
