Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRui Duarte is a self-taught Senior Frontend Engineer based in Lisbon with 11 years of experience building and scaling web platforms. He has led teams and technical initiatives—most recently rebuilding the guest journey and migrating to a monorepo at Plum Guide, improving performance and developer productivity—then moved into senior roles at Agreena and Tiger Data. Rui excels at modernizing frontends, clearing tech debt, and collaborating closely with designers to scale design systems while coaching engineers from junior to senior levels. His track record includes measurable performance gains (a 40% uplift on critical pages) and practical improvements to release workflows. He combines hands-on implementation with people leadership and an eye for pragmatic architecture, often surfacing non-obvious wins by reducing complexity rather than adding features.
