What that means for you

The person designing the solution has managed teams, budgets and clients.

He knows what an automation costs to maintain, what a team will actually use and what a manager needs to see at month end. That's why the work starts with diagnosis, not technology.

How I work

  • One process at a time, with the metric defined before we start.
  • Honest about what pays off and what doesn't. I've said "not worth it" before and will keep saying it.
  • Remote, in English and Portuguese, available for meetings in Porto.
