About me

Hi there! My name is Carlos and I am an Engineering Leader currently based in Portugal. I’m into Software Engineering, Investment, and CrossFit.

With a background in Software Engineering, I have commercial Engineering and Management experience for high-growth startups, established businesses, and public institutions across Europe for the past 15 years.

I have previously co-founded a SaaS company, helped build better government services, scaled distributed engineering teams, and helped Talkdesk to end bad customer service worldwide. I am now focused on building an API platform to make money programmable at Fidel API.

I’ve been working remotely since 2017 and that’s the setup where I feel happier and more productive.

I love solving complex problems, grow engineering teams, taking projects from concept to release, and working with fast-paced teams to deliver value and scalable solutions.

In my free time, I used to maintain Compounding Works, an investment and trading blog I created in 2020, which I sold in 2021.
