Summary
Tiago Fonseca is a product-focused technology leader with 30+ years building software platforms and 8 years in senior product and CTO roles, now leading the digital product evolution for HEPHA’s connected e-bike platform from Munich. He has repeatedly scaled engineering organisations and products—from growing YDX from a 5-person startup to a 200-employee global firm and maturing AWAKE Mobility’s AI diagnostics stack into production-grade systems. Comfortable across hardware, firmware, cloud and mobile, Tiago blends hands-on development experience (early web, navigation and social platforms) with strong product execution, security and compliance know-how. He excels at cross-functional delivery, introducing DevOps, QA automation and GDPR/cyber resilience practices while reducing operational downtime and technical debt. Outside core product work he researches reinforcement learning for robotics and deep learning for market forecasting, reflecting a sustained curiosity in applied ML. His mix of founder grit, engineering depth and product intuition makes him effective at turning complex multi-disciplinary requirements into reliable, testable features shipped on real devices.
