Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoel Sousa is a Senior Software Engineer based in Braga, Portugal with five years of professional experience and a steady progression from trainee to senior engineer at Checkmarx. He combines a Master's in Engineering and Management in Information Systems from Universidade do Minho with hands-on experience building enterprise software across multiple companies, including Primavera and Valuekeep. At Checkmarx he has spent the bulk of his career deepening product and platform expertise, moving from engineering roles into senior responsibilities since 2022. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who values maintainable code and incremental improvements that reduce long-term risk. He brings the perspective of someone who grew through the full software lifecycle—from trainee to senior—so he’s comfortable both shipping features and mentoring less-experienced engineers.
