Senior🎓
Top SchoolTiago Alexandre is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with over a decade of experience building web, mobile and game applications across industries from EdTech and automotive to maritime shipping and gambling. He combines hands-on implementation—comfortable switching languages and diving into domain APIs—with team leadership focused on mentoring, autonomy and improving soft skills that senior engineers often overlook. His open-source contributions to the HaxeFlixel game engine show a practical commitment to performance, extensibility and tooling, including work to modernize rendering and memory usage. Tiago thrives in dynamic organisations where he can research, prototype and ship solutions, and he actively experiments with systems-level projects such as a multi-OS home lab and a WebGPU renderer in C/C++. Outside work he pursues fitness and motorbike trips and studies psychology to better understand team dynamics and individual motivation. This blend of technical breadth, practical game-engine pedigree and people-centric leadership makes him effective at translating complex technical trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders.
