Manuel Dos Santos is an experienced software engineer and open-source creator with 11 years building scalable platform and developer tooling across cloud-native and web ecosystems. He founded and core-maintains Node-Boot, an opinionated Node.js application framework focused on zero-boilerplate developer experience, modular back-ends, and seamless testing and runtime portability (including serverless and desktop targets). At Mercedes‑Benz.io he led the enterprise Backstage distribution and Tech‑Insights platform, driving governance, plugin ecosystems, and automated developer-facing checks that improved security and operability at scale. His background spans full-stack and distributed systems work from fintech and e-commerce marketplaces to SDN and optical network test platforms, combining hands-on architecture with team mentorship and recruitment support. Based in Lisbon, he pairs pragmatic engineering with community stewardship—and, not coincidentally, a fondness for wine and good beer that inspired an earlier wine marketplace CTO role.
