Taking a long break to rest and travel. If you are around Southeast Asia in the next few months and want to meet, ping me.

With the growth of our business and company, as well as the scope of the problem space we cover, I have focused my efforts in building a world class Supply Tech organization that will drive transformation in GetYourGuide's future as well as the travel space as a whole.

Up until end of June 2018 leading the Native Apps and Supply Technology initiatives. Creating, growing, enabling teams and developing individuals while setting up and aligning on long term strategy across the different stakeholders. Starting July 2018 focusing on the growing Supply Technology group, composed of several business critical mission teams.

Technical leadership, line, product and process management for mission teams of 2-6 engineers and designers. Heavily involved in sourcing, hiring and onboarding initiatives as well as planning and executing on the daily operations of the organization. Bootstrapped and led several different initiatives from Web (Desktop and Mobile) to Native Apps.

Focusing mostly on Backend tasks I work with several tools and technologies ranging from PHP, MySQL, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, Go Lang and many others.

Introduced the Coworking concept in Faro, Algarve, Portugal. Started it with a couple friends back in 2010 out of the need for an office away from home when working as a freelancer. The three of us together founded the place and still manage it nowadays...

I joined Neo7even as part of a brand new team with the intention to kickstart an innovative startup project. While at it I’ve worked with PHP and Javascript to create a group of separate web app prototypes. I was able to lay out the base for the project data access layer, code part of the corporate website, scaffold the web backend and develop a javascript based (with requirejs, jquery, jquery UI and some more bits) editing app. On the backend I used a custom built PHP framework (not my decision) and MySQL.

During my short stay on InfluAds I was responsible for implementing their new customer dashboard and help planning the data layer API to connect it. I structured, developed and deployed the whole dashboard app in Zend FW (per request), using jQuery and HighCharts javascript libraries for the UI bling. I worked mostly with PHP, Zend Framework, Javascript, jQuery, FB API (opengraph), Twitter API.

I took the chance, in between jobs to develop my skills by accepting small web application projects with a serious commitment on frontend quality/usability, the area I intended to specialize in. During this time I polished my Javascript skills, used jQuery, Pylons python framework (now Pyramid), PHP (Symfony), HTML and a lot of CSS. Working as a freelancer I also learned a bit more on how to manage myself, my time and my projects, as well as contacts/customers.

Worked in web applications development in PHP, Python, HTML/XHTML, CSS and Javascript.

Suspended the degree to pursue entrepreneurial ventures
