Diogo Rosa

“I had the pleasure of working together with Diogo throughout my stay at Whitespectre, where we collaborated on several different projects and on various teams. And while I'm not directly qualified in assessing Diogo's development skills as a Software Engineer, indirectly I can say this. From what I've seen and heard from fellow developers and technical leaders, which both me and Diogo worked with. It's cleat to me that Diogo is a very gifted individual when it comes to developing / coding, both in terms of code quality and productive velocity. As a person, Diogo is humble, focused, and does think twice before jumping to any kind of conclusions. He always gives his colleagues time to explain themselves, and their ideas / thoughts. Simply put, he takes in everyone's perspective in as a first. Working remotely is something that Diogo does flawlessly. He's punctual, pays attention on the team meetings and contributes to discussions when / where he is able to. He understands all the basic stuff really well, like for example the online presence of oneself, and how to "do" that in a good manner. It becomes a sheer pleasure to have him on any team meeting. I have no doubt in my mind that Diogo has grown a lot as a Software Engineer, and evermore as a facilitator / team leader. That latter, I personally can attest to. Over the years working together with Diogo, he has demonstrated that he understands and enacts upon everything with regards to the Agile methodology (Scrum framework) which we used in the organisation, and with our (client) teams. The dedication of getting the job done from Diogo's side, made the day-to-day work a breeze for his colleges. All in all, an awesome team player. Also Diogo is a superb communicator when it comes to the everyday (online) communication, be it with the internal or the client / stakeholder team. Finally, I would just like to add that Diogo, has a lot of soft skills that really can't be measured by any tests nor short interviews. The one soft skill that stands out is that because of Diogo being so likeable as a human being, he's able to befriend all kinds of people / cultures / personalities. And he always seems to understand what the other person is talking about, no matter how complex or not, the discussion is. I have no doubt in my mind that Diogo would be a huge asset to any (Scrum) team / organisation. Especially when it comes to remote work since, in that field he has accumulated a lot of experience, and knows how to perform it really well. All the best and hope to work with you again in the future Diogo!”

“Driven by a strong will to succeed and develop great software, Diogo is definitively the type of player, that every software project must have. Backed up by a good technological background, both theoretical and practical, Diogo as the ability to always have an informed opinion about every aspects of a project, contributing actively and making difference on key decisions. His dedication is also inspiring, being always available to push the project forward, specially when extra effort is required to meet the deadlines!”
