As a former Developer Advocate for mobile API security, he blends developer relations and security expertise, having cut demo setup times from hours to minutes and improved trial conversions through onboarding automation. He has led high-impact projects that improved customer trials by 80%, sped analytics from hours to minutes, and delivered benefits infrastructure used across 70+ countries. Comfortable across languages and architectures, he ships pragmatic solutions, mentors teams, and introduces tools and workflows (Docker, API-first) that measurably boost developer velocity. Based in Portugal, he also explores entrepreneur-led product experiments and publishes tooling and LLM guidance in the BEAM ecosystem.
