Tiago Santos is a Software Architect with 11 years of experience designing and building backend systems for large-scale automotive aftersales at Mercedes‑Benz.io, where he works with Kotlin/Java, Spring, cloud-native platforms and messaging at the architecture level. He combines industrial-grade engineering with an academic background—a PhD in Computer Science focused on program verification and specification languages—which informs his pragmatic approach to correctness and maintainability. Previously he helped evolve a multimedia contact-center product using C# and Azure, and contributes to open-source projects like FlexGet (notably improving subtitle plugins and torrent management). Comfortable across object-oriented, functional and multiparadigm languages, Tiago is a hands-on architect who still rolls up his sleeves to implement resilient backends and automation pipelines. Based in Lisbon, he blends research-grade rigor with production delivery on cloud, Kubernetes and CI/CD stacks.
