Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Fernandes is a Technical Director with over 8 years of focused experience leading software architecture and delivery, and a career spanning engineering, consulting, and startup leadership. He combines deep practical knowledge of distributed systems—actor-models, microservices and publish-subscribe patterns—with a strong grounding in software design patterns and SOLID principles. A certified Scrum Master and passionate agile practitioner, he pairs hands-on functional programming preferences with pragmatic team and product leadership. As co-founder and CEO of a software company and now heading technical direction at ITSector, he blends entrepreneurial grit with enterprise-grade engineering. Based in Porto, he brings a problem-solver’s mindset and a habit of quickly adopting new technologies to solve complex, real-world distributed systems challenges. An interesting quirk: despite senior leadership roles he still enjoys diving into functional code and system design details rather than delegating them entirely.
