Hi, I'm Joao Trindade
I build things and have fun doing it.

Software developer, PhD in Computer Engineering, and certified geek. Currently happily lost somewhere between containers, Clojure and machine learning.

The toolbox changes, the curiosity doesn't.

A bit about me 🙂

The short version, no corporate buzzwords included.

I'm a senior software developer with a PhD in Computer Engineering from Lisbon Tech (IST). I've been writing code for fun since before it was my job — and luckily it's still both.

I love open source (a few of my patches are out there in the wild), functional programming, and taking things apart just to see how they work.

  • 🧠 PhD in Computer Engineering — yes, I defended a thesis and lived to tell the tale
  • 🔧 Serial tinkerer: containers, k8s, Clojure, and whatever looks shiny this week
  • 📸 Occasional photographer (see the Flickr link above)
  • 📚 Bookworm with a Goodreads account to prove it
