Joao was an exceptional team player and I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with him. He is highly motivated individual, and has an impressive ability to juggle short term tasks with long term strategies. He was instrumental in upgrading our code from Objective C to Swift. Any employee would be lucky to have Joao in their team.

João is an awesome engineer and even more awesome guy. Attention to detail is off the charts, dedication, proficiency, ability to look outside the scope of the problem and identify areas of weakness are to be commended. It is a pleasure to work with João, he has an affable character, encourages team commitment and is excellent in his tradecraft.
