This week, we started a new course at Universidade Federal de Itajubá, IESTI05 - Edge Machine Learning Systems Engineering. IESTI05 is a 15-week undergraduate course designed to teach students how to implement AI systems on edge devices, specifically using Raspberry Pi platforms. The course is based on the e-book: "Edge AI Engineering" by Prof. Marcelo Rovai, UNIFEI 2025 (https://lnkd.in/eRrvn9FF). Open materials will be uploaded to this repo (https://lnkd.in/eRp2Q63A) every week. - Slides, Notebooks, Code, and Docs in English - Videos in Portuguese #EdgeAI, #AI

Porto, leadership in QA does not always come with a title. As Quality Engineering evolves, so do the careers of the people within it. Many professionals find themselves leading initiatives, influencing decisions, and guiding teams long before leadership is formally recognized. This often leads to important questions about growth, direction, and long-term career choices. At the 22nd Test Tribe Porto Meetup, we create space not only for technical learning but also for honest reflection on leadership journeys in modern organizations. Session 2 focuses on a question many professionals quietly ask: To Lead or Not to Lead? A Discussion on Career, Functional and Technical Leadership In this session, Tiago Paixão explores how leadership takes many forms. From technical and functional leadership to informal influence, this talk examines when leadership begins, how it develops, and what challenges leaders face along the way. With decades of experience across industries, Tiago brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective that encourages attendees to reflect on their own paths. This session is especially relevant for anyone considering leadership or already influencing teams without a formal role. Meetup Details 📅 14th January 2026 🕡 18:30 (Portugal Time) 📍 Uphold, Porto If you are thinking about your next career step or want clarity on leadership paths, this session will resonate. 👉 RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/ghmEaaGz Thank you to our Tribe Champions Allan Ferreira and Paulo Oliveira for making community-driven learning possible in Porto. #thetesttribe #portoevents #qacareer #techleadership #testingcommunity

I've found that the Superpowers framework (https://lnkd.in/dMd5sHz9) is very effective when working with coding agents. I think most engineers working with coding agents realise how important the planning phase is. However, I've never been *completely* convinced by the native planning mode that you get with tools like Claude Code or Cursor. Over the last couple of weeks, however, I've gotten pretty consistent planning documents from Claude via the Superpowers plugin. I also like how each plan is broken down into two separate documents: one for design, and one for implementation. The actual implementation is then carried out via a new subagent per task, with additonal spec compliance and code quality reviews in between. This does obviously result in higher token usage, but I've found that the results are generally consistent (and I don't have to constantly keep going back and forth). Definitely worth taking a look at!

We're thrilled to share our latest success story! 🚀 In collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Devoteam helped a leading pharmaceutical company in Portugal 🇵🇹 achieve a secure and strategic cloud migration with zero downtime. By leveraging the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) and an agile, phased approach, we successfully migrated over 50 applications and servers, establishing a modern, scalable, and secure infrastructure. This project not only ensured business continuity but also laid a solid foundation for future innovation and FinOps practices.

This week, in Expresso I shared my perspective with Cátia Mateus on a thought-provoking topic: when the CEO's salary is not the limit.   The article explores a reality that is still quite rare in Portugal but raises pertinent questions — to what extent are we valuing technical careers and their direct impact on business results?   "Globally, this can happen in companies with less formal management structures, fewer hierarchical levels, and more contribution-driven organisations. It is a phenomenon that occurs mainly in highly specialised roles that are hard to replace and have a significant and direct impact on a company's results."   In an economy increasingly based on knowledge, technical expertise, and innovation, are organisations effectively recognising and retaining talent? Is it time to broaden the concept of leadership — and merit?   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d9K978jG   Share your thoughts on this reflection. 👇   #odgersberndtson #theCEOisthelimit #work #career #jornalexpresso #leadership #remuneration #management #talent

Web performance matters. A LOT. Users expect a smooth, instant, and responsive web experience. So, how can developers ensure this? The secret lies in hydration! Rodrigo Ferreira Fiori and Joaquín Fischer, two of our engineers, share how top frameworks such as Angular, React, and Astro contribute to ensuring that applications provide a lightning-fast, seamless user experience – something our Fever engineering team pays particular attention to. 👉 Dive into the article here: https://lnkd.in/dKA8T4vK. #fever #feverengineering #webperformance #hydration

Can AI help change the future of a rare disease? 🧬🤖 Paramyloidosis, known in Portugal as “Doença dos Pezinhos”, affects thousands of families, especially in the north of the country. Recently, at the conference “Paramiloidose: a journey through the past, present and future”, one idea stood out: technology can be part of the solution. #INESCTEC researcher, Alípio Jorge, shared how Artificial Intelligence, when built on real clinical data, can support earlier diagnosis, smarter decisions and more personalised care.

You're starting a job in the software team at Shapeways. You'd expect to be diving into the code, right? Not so fast. When new engineers join Tiago São José's team at Shapeways, they don’t start by writing code. Instead, they spend a day in production — packing boxes, shipping orders and using the tools they’ll be developing. Because developing the best software comes from understanding how its used in the real world, and knowing the people who use it. ▶️ In this clip, Tiago explains why empathy is at the heart of engineering.
