Curious, effectiveness-oriented and passionate about solving complex, deeply-human challenges, Cristina thrives in building empathic solutions that will help make people’s lives better. Her approach relies on cross-collaboration, shared values and consistent and long-term strategies.

Throughout the years, Cristina’s experience has varied from small digital business’s to ambitious startups and international solutions. Most of her work has been focused on building web-based products from scratch, starting from a PoC stage to beta versions and finally, live systems.

She believes great work comes from great partnerships; thus why mentioning a few dear fellow colleagues whom she collaborates with: Sara Rijo (Data Science& Machine Learning Specialist); Kelly Mestre (Fullstack Developer); Gustavo Jordão (Fullstack Developer); Vanessa Nascimento (Scrum Master & Agile Consultant); Morgan Bastos (Art Director & Graphic Designer) and Inês Gonçalves (Brand & Graphic Designer).

Fun Facts

A punk-rock enthusiast, who has a penchant for the 90’s and 00’s greatest hits; loves any kind of street food; is obsessed with Daniel Sloss’s (stand-up comedy) and mother to the most beautiful italian mastiff.

She considers herself a tireless thinker, seeker of knowledge, life philosopher and self-aware introvert. Passionate about physics, philosophy and psychology and forever in love with Norway*. Life-long advocate of communication and believer of animal welfare, human rights and equality; and environmental and ecological sustainability.

Last but not least, she doesn’t believe in extreme #feminism, but more so on #inclusivity.
