He's responsibility is one of some other thinks i could detach about him, by the way, he's very funny guy too and it creates a good teamwork environment during the development of an project. Strongly recommended by me.

When I joined Vivino I was manly a Full stack Ruby on Rails Engineer but here I learned so much more. Passed most of my 4 years here working with Javascript and React and in my last year I started working with GO lang in a micro-service backend context. Highlights: - Worked closely with PM's & Design in creating component based solutions for the web. - Set up a new Headless CMS solution for for marketing and communication purposes. - Improved the testing approach with creating solutions to avoid using cassette's recording. Allowing development and running time to diminish by more than 50%. - Became one of the few persons in the company capable of working on almost every existing code base(10+ projects). Show less

I was part of the team developing a job portal for one the top technology universities in Portugal, IST (www.ist.utl.pt). Played a main role on the design and implementation of the software architecture along with some requirements management tasks. Implemented and pushed forward the usage of agile methodology while developing the solution, manly at the back-end. Including unit testing, bug fixing and continuous support. We used technologies like PHP, Apache and github. The project lives on at http://www.jobshop.ist.utl.pt/ Show less
