Former Co-founder & CTO of Prodsmart (acquired by Autodesk). Serial founder — from web studios to motorcycle dealerships to smart factories. Currently on sabbatical, exploring what's next. Based in Lisbon.
I've been building things since the early 2000s — from running my own Linux server at home (urban.homelinux.org) to co-founding a manufacturing tech company that got acquired by a Fortune 500.
Along the way, I founded Niuvisions, a web design studio, ran LxMotos, a Kawasaki motorcycle dealership in Lisbon, and co-founded Prodsmart, a cloud MES platform that digitized factory floors worldwide — a journey from Lisbon to San Francisco, through 500 Global (Batch 22), and into Autodesk where the product became Fusion Operations.
I'm a generalist at heart — equally at home in the terminal, the boardroom, or a factory floor. Currently on sabbatical, taking time to explore and build what's next.
