Senior🎓
Top SchoolMario Mesquita is a Forward Deployed Engineer and Tech Lead with eight years of experience building client-facing solutions across Europe and the Middle East, currently based in Dubai and focused on UAE–Saudi engagements. At Palantir he combines hands-on delivery—scoping use cases, building POCs, and shipping progressive web apps and RAG solutions for very large documents—with technical leadership on signed projects. A former founder of a VR arcade startup, he brings product instincts and event-driven UX experience to enterprise deployments. His background includes internships at Microsoft, Meta, and Anchorage where he solved large-scale data and ML pricing problems, and he graduated top of class from FEUP with an exchange at HKUST. Known for a playful, pragmatic style (GitHub bio: “:shipit: You just activated my trap card!”), he thrives at the intersection of client impact, rapid prototyping, and production-grade engineering.
