Pedro
Trindade.

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

I build enterprise applications with Java, Spring Boot and Angular. My work spans European institutions, public services, banking and logistics, from understanding requirements to releasing and supporting software in production.

Pedro Trindade

From analysis to delivery.

I work across the full development cycle: requirements, application design, implementation, testing, database changes and releases. Alongside hands-on development, I help coordinate sprint work, mentor colleagues and work closely with testing teams. Secure coding and maintainability are central to how I approach the work.
