Senior Software Engineer @ Emissium, building infrastructure that turns electricity market chaos into useful data products.
Based in Lisbon 🇵🇹, working for a Swiss energy-tech startup.
Right now I'm working on products that help companies track their electricity usage and carbon footprint in real time. It's energy markets meets SaaS.
Recent work:
- Currently working on streaming market data pipelines (Go + InfluxDB) to feed analytics for day-ahead electricity trading
- Shipped dashboard systems that let data centers and industrial facilities visualize their emissions and optimize buying strategies
- Built the API layer that ingests live data from European electricity exchanges and serve it to dashboards
- Architected the emissium platform; auth, billing (Stripe), recurring/enterprise plans, the whole thing
The interesting part isn't just the code, it's figuring out how energy markets work and translating that into something developers can actually use via APIs.
Backend:
Go, Node.js, Nginx for reverse proxies and routing
Frontend:
TypeScript, React, Next.js. I care about fast UIs that don't feel janky
Data:
PostgreSQL for transactional stuff, InfluxDB for time-series (energy data updates every other second)
Infrastructure:
VPS (we self-host a lot using Coolify), Docker, some Vercel for quick prototypes
Tools:
Linear for tasks, Cursor/VSCode for code, Postman for API debugging
- Energy markets & trading systems - how electricity prices move, how order books work, what makes a good API for market data
- SaaS architecture - building products that scale without burning budgets or breaking under load
- Market microstructure - not just energy, but also how trading infrastructure works (been dabbling in prediction markets lately)
- Systems that "just work" - I think the best software is invisible. It solves hard problems without making you think about it.

Fun fact: The first website ever created is still live at info.cern.ch. I like visiting it when I need perspective on how much software has evolved (or over-complicated itself).
"Just aspiring to be a 100x dev" - but really, I just want to build things that solve real problems without being annoying.
