Summary
Matheus Dos Santos is a Head of Platform and principal systems architect based in Lisbon, blending 11 years of hands-on engineering leadership with over two decades of cumulative technical experience across startups and agencies. He designs and maintains low-level, high-performance platform components using C++, Rust, Lisp, Python and Erlang, and has led platform evolutions from IoT PaaS to embedded insurance at Habit Analytics. Matheus champions developer enablement—building frameworks like Envoxy and Zapata, standardizing service patterns, and embedding robust monitoring and process management to keep critical systems reliable at scale. He pairs a founder’s mindset from Struct Technology and Smartbill with enterprise-grade delivery, having shipped full-stack products, bespoke design tools, and large CMS platforms. Comfortable across databases, messaging (RabbitMQ, MQTT) and real-time systems, he favors pragmatic language choices to match system layers. Outside work he describes himself simply as “Developer and Human,” reflecting a practical, people-centered approach to building robust platforms.
