Hi, I'm Tiago — a Senior Software Engineer currently at PagerDuty and based in Lisbon, Portugal. I care about shipping reliable systems, keeping things simple, and making products measurably better.
What I do
- Backend first, with hands‑on frontend when it helps ship faster.
- Recently bringing AI into products via agentic flows and integrations that improve UX and ops.
- Comfortable across stacks: Python, Elixir, Node.js (TypeScript/JavaScript), .NET Core (C#).
- Infrastructure as code: Terraform; cloud‑native basics and CI/CD.
How I work
- Product‑minded: start from the outcome, not the tool — involved early in shaping what we build.
- Drive clarity: gather requirements, align stakeholders, and write design docs before code.
- Break down ambiguity: scope work, surface risks early, and keep delivery incremental.
- Collaborative: clear writing, quick feedback loops, healthy defaults.
- Incubation/R&D: de‑risk early, measure impact, ship what proves value (and cut what doesn’t).
Background
- Engineering since 2011 across multiple frameworks and environments.
- MSc in Information Systems; BSc in Computer Science.
Outside work
- Hiking, trail running, travel, and games (board + video).
- Home automation enthusiast (Home Assistant, Shelly), safe electrical tinkering, and home‑server setups.
