Artur Teixeira · Software engineer · Architecture, AI & business

Architecture first.
Implementation matters.

I build reliable product and platform systems by connecting architectural judgment, AI-enabled engineering and the business outcomes behind the work.

What I care about

Architecture that creates options

Good architecture keeps change affordable, risk visible and the business able to move without rewriting everything.

AI with judgment

AI creates leverage when it shortens feedback loops, improves decisions and earns trust in real workflows.

Business impact first

Technical choices matter because they shape speed, cost, risk, customer value and the company’s capacity to grow.

Selected work

Across independent products and commercial systems, the pattern is consistent: understand the business problem, turn complexity into clarity and build things that last.

Independent builds

Commercial systems

Professional work

A few businesses where I learned to connect systems, product decisions and engineering teams.

Current · Logistics software

WiseTech Global

Working on CargoWise, a global logistics platform where architectural judgment, implementation quality and long-lived systems meet operational complexity.

Head of Engineering · Recruitment software

skeeled

Joined as the only development engineer and grew into leading the engineering department. The work combined product delivery, team growth, automation, data and an early practical journey into transparent AI.

E-commerce · High-growth venture

Jumia / Rocket Internet

Worked on Jumia (Kaymu branch)’s e-commerce platform during its Rocket Internet chapter, across application, data and search. It was an early view of how engineering supports a fast-moving marketplace business.

Build note

Building and deploying an app from my phone

A small product experiment in which the constraints are part of the implementation story.

AI in practice

A few AI-related thoughts I had lately

On stopping model drift early, the blast radius of vibe coding, supervising multi-agent work and building software that does not use AI at runtime.

Engineering culture

We Know. We’re Just Not Saying It.

A note on the things engineering teams often see clearly before they are ready to say them out loud.

Engineering practice

4 takeaways from The Unicorn Project

Notes on developer tools, technical debt, trust, teamwork and making room for experimentation.

AI in practice

What we learned from our journey to AI

Lessons from building recruitment automation with transparency, responsible use and human judgment in mind.

Reading list

A short list of books that shaped how I think about engineering, teams, focus and building.

See full reading list

  1. Engineering systems

    The Phoenix Project

    Gene Kim, Kevin Behr & George Spafford

    Delivery is a system, not a heroics contest.

  2. Developer experience

    The Unicorn Project

    Gene Kim

    Locality, flow, simplicity and the conditions for good work.

  3. Engineering craft

    The Pragmatic Programmer

    Andrew Hunt & David Thomas

    A durable standard for clear code and sound trade-offs.

  4. Teams

    Peopleware

    Tom DeMarco & Timothy Lister

    The human systems around software are part of the product.

  5. Learning

    Range

    David Epstein

    Breadth and curiosity can compound into better judgment.

About

I stay close to the code. I think beyond it.

I’m a software engineer with 12+ years across product, platform and delivery. I work from the business problem and architectural shape of a system down to the code that makes it real, with a growing focus on AI-enabled engineering.

I lead through technical judgment, clear communication and useful systems that improve product outcomes and help teams do good work.
