Serial entrepreneur and tech executive with an engineering background who has been involved in several startups and launched over 100 products since 2010. I’ve worked with companies such as trivago, Portugal Telecom, and Vizrt.
"Amando is an absolute machine. Built us a YouTube personalisation SaaS in one evening. Something that would be easily quoted $650k and 9 months by the average dev agency."
"Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae."
"Cras venenatis, lectus ac efficitur dapibus, odio mauris ullamcorper orci, nec laoreet est nisl ut arcu."
"Amando does it all, a perfect mix of coach, business hustler and founding engineer"
I’ve been a CTO at DigitalXBO, an Obos spin-off, and a co-founded Perlo.io.
I’ve done fractional CTO work for multiple startups in all sorts of verticals worldwide.
Experience in several industries, most notably e-commerce, SaaS, media, travel, insurance, property development, and construction.
Although I have a deep tech background (the how), I don’t limit myself to only tech, having quite broad experience building products with customers answering the what and the why.
I like how the internet works and have first-hand experience with e-commerce, SEO, paid ads, and social media marketing.
