Skills and experience

Diogo Capela

Over the last 8+ years I've worked across the full stack as a senior engineer, startup co-founder, and product lead. I've built real-time commodity-trading platforms at Applied Blockchain, scalable server-side-rendered e-commerce systems at Mindera, and a string of my own products on the side.

I combine hands-on engineering with a product mindset. I can own the architecture and the code, but I'm just as interested in why we're building something, who it's for, and what problem it solves.

I'm currently completing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence, focused on LLMs, agentic systems, and data mining, and I'm increasingly drawn to how AI changes the way digital products get built and maintained.
