Senior🎓
Top SchoolTiago Garcao is a software engineer based in London with eight years of technical experience and a strong background in mechanical and energy engineering. He transitioned into web development after automating workflows as an HVAC engineer—building VBA tools that saved his former company tens of hours per month—and has since focused on JavaScript and React, currently contributing at Skyscanner. Previously he delivered client-facing recruitment websites at The Access Group/Volcanic, coordinating across frontend, backend, design, and support teams to meet tight deadlines. Tiago combines a systems-level engineering mindset from MSc training in mechanical energy with practical full-stack delivery, making him adept at turning complex requirements into reliable, automated solutions. An early self-starter, he taught himself to code full-time and is now shipping production React applications while continuing to deepen his front-end expertise.
