Summary
Tiago Simões is an engineering leader based in Lisbon with 11 years of experience building data-intensive platforms and scaling high-performance teams. Currently Engineering Lead at tb.lx by Daimler Truck, he combines hands-on expertise in streaming and batch ETL (Kafka, Flink, Spark), API design (Spring), and cloud-native tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus) with a track record of delivering reliable CI/CD pipelines and production data services. His background spans BI, data engineering and machine learning—having productionized NLP models during an airline internship and built multidimensional analytics solutions earlier in his career. Known for mentoring and onboarding distributed, cross-cultural teams, he also brings a curator’s instinct for storytelling and audience from TEDx work, which informs how he shapes technical roadmaps and product-facing APIs. Despite a self-deprecating “wanna be dev” GitHub bio, his career shows sustained technical depth and leadership across the full data stack.
