Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuel Fernandes is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building web and AI-driven products, currently serving as Head of Engineering at Halo NeuroAI in Lisbon. He specializes in turning complex signal-processing and generative AI research into production systems that restore speech using a non-invasive neural interface. Manuel’s background spans e-commerce, headless architectures and CMS platforms—from Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Drupal to bespoke REST APIs—bringing practical full-stack fluency to high-traffic environments. He has led distributed teams across Europe and Asia, regularly doing code reviews, architecture, and hands-on implementation. A practiced speaker on AI, blockchain and emerging tech at Nova SBE, he combines entrepreneurial grit from seven years running his own software company with deep engineering craftsmanship. Less obvious: he’s equally comfortable negotiating commercial software licenses and shipping low-level integrations, giving him a rare mix of product, technical and business-savvy.
