Helio Medeiros - Engineering Leader

About

With 20+ years in tech and over a decade leading engineering teams, I've built resilient, remote-first cultures across fintech and travel tech. From hands-on coding to scaling distributed systems, I focus on empowering people and aligning engineering excellence with product outcomes.

Currently based in Berlin, I lead teams that own high-impact platforms end-to-end—from ideation to delivery—working deeply with design, product, and data to continuously improve customer experience. I thrive on asynchronous collaboration, clear ownership, and mentoring engineers into impactful, product-minded leaders.

A long-time Agile, Git, TDD advocate since 2008, I've spoken at meetups, driven adoption of continuous integration, transparency, and customer value across organizations, and remain passionate about building tools that help developers do their best work.
