Ricardo Lopes is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience building payment and finance platforms, currently serving as Director of Engineering at Doutor Finanças where he focuses on helping people achieve financial health. He combines hands-on expertise in Python, Go, PHP and relational databases with prior CTO experience at Easypay and technical leadership roles at Rocket Labs and SAPO. Comfortable bridging product and execution, Ricardo has led teams shipping data-driven services and payment solutions while still diving into low-level details that make systems reliable. Based in Lisbon, he brings a pragmatic mix of engineering depth and operational ownership, and outside work he’s equally curious about the “nooks and crannies” that make things work — from code internals to cooking.
