📍 Portugal | CTO at Powerdot

15+ years designing distributed systems, scaling platforms, and leading engineering teams. Currently building the technology foundation for large-scale EV charging infrastructure across Europe.

Build systems that scale before the business forces you to. Good architecture is a competitive advantage, not a cost centre.

EV Charging Infrastructure

Leading technology strategy for thousands of charging locations across Europe. OCPP and OCPI platforms covering interoperability, tariffs, roaming, and security. Real-time session management, pricing, settlement, asset telemetry, and field performance at scale.

AI Enablement

Building the connective tissue between language models and the world's APIs. The goal is simple: make integrations disappear. When an AI agent needs to talk to Slack, read your notes, query a database, or control your home, the bridge should already be there. No ceremony, no boilerplate, no manual OAuth dances. Intent to action.

The work spans MCP servers, OAuth proxies, tool bridges, and agent orchestration. Every integration follows the same principle: handle failures at the infrastructure layer so the model never sees them. If an auth token expires, refresh it silently. If a service is down, retry with backoff. The LLM at the end of the chain should never know something went wrong.
