Miguel Verissimo is a senior software developer with 11 years of hands-on experience building scalable web and backend systems across startups and large enterprises. He blends deep Ruby/Rails and Elixir knowledge with strong DevOps and cloud-native experience (notably contributing to the widely used Cloud Foundry BOSH projects around CLI, deployment manifests, and integration tests). Comfortable leading teams and mentoring engineers, he has also managed developer teams and driven microservices architecture and CI/CD improvements at companies like SAP Concur and Precision Nutrition. His background spans full-stack product work in early-stage startups through operational engineering and release automation in large orgs, giving him a pragmatic focus on reliability and measurable service health. Miguel’s career shows a pattern of tackling thorny integration and deployment problems—automating release processes and fixing brittle integration tests—rather than just writing feature code. Based in Viseu, Portugal, he pairs a broad technical toolkit with a designer’s sense for user-centered, maintainable solutions.
