My career spans consulting, Head of Development roles, and academic teaching, where I combine deep technical expertise with strong business acumen to help organizations achieve measurable results.
As the Founder of Code Genius, I lead a global consultancy that transforms concepts into scalable digital solutions using Low-Code, AI/ML, and strategic delivery models. I have spearheaded initiatives for clients in telecommunications, energy, logistics, retail, and government, focusing on speed, innovation, and ROI. My work often includes establishing Centers of Excellence, governance frameworks, and reusable component libraries, ensuring sustainable growth and efficiency.
I am a recognized OutSystems Champion with 13 certifications (including Expert Developer, Tech Lead, and Certified Trainer), and I have trained professionals worldwide in OutSystems, AI/ML, and solution architecture. My AI and machine learning experience includes applied computer vision, IoT integration, and research, notably through my published work on Smart Recyclable Waste Separation.
Leadership has been central to my career. I have managed technology teams ranging from 10 to 125 professionals, advised C-level executives, and built bridges between business and technical teams to accelerate delivery and reduce rework. My approach blends agile practices, DevOps culture, and the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to drive performance and accountability.
In academia, I teach at the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco, where I teach Interface Design, Project Management, and Human-Machine Interaction. I also actively promote university-industry collaboration through hackathons, innovation challenges, and applied research projects.
I thrive on complex challenges and excel in environments where technology catalyzes transformation. Whether leading high-impact delivery programs, mentoring teams, or developing cutting-edge AI/ML solutions, I aim to create tangible, lasting value for clients and communities.
