Summary
Verónica Carvajal is a business analyst and former engineering lead with 10 years of experience bridging research, software development and product delivery in fintech and scientific environments. With a PhD in Bioengineering and hands-on full‑stack training, she pairs rigorous data-driven thinking and machine‑learning exposure with practical skills in SQL, user-story writing and UAT coordination. At Natixis she progressed from developer to Dev Team Lead and Scrum Master, now focusing on translating complex business needs into clear functional specifications and resilient operational processes. Colleagues describe her as energetic, a strong teacher and highly committed—traits she balances with a thoughtful emphasis on people, clarity of communication and continuous improvement. Her background in neuroscience research gives her a less obvious strength: an experimental mindset for designing measurements and iterating on solutions. Based in Porto, she blends technical depth with empathy to keep teams aligned and focused on outcomes.
