I am João Pires, a Lisbon based Software Engineer. I have been developing mobile applications since 2017. Currently, I work remotely for Berlin based Cortado Mobile Solutions building enterprise mobile systems.

My technical background is mainly in iOS development using Swift and Objective C. Recently, my focus has shifted toward broader software lifecycle management, particularly the challenges of maintaining legacy systems and scaling digital tools for organizations.

At Cortado and previously at Next Reality, my daily work involves turning business needs into working software. The projects I have worked on range from white label AR apps to maintaining established productivity tools.

Alongside my engineering work, I am finishing an undergraduate degree in International Relations at ISCSP (ULisboa). Combining my technical training with this academic focus on institutions has led me to explore Management Information Systems as my next area of study.
