Tiago T.
The lights go out. I keep building.
I'm Tiago. By day I'm a technical lead at an IT company in Beirut. By night I'm in a shared dorm room, learning by taking things apart and building whatever I can with what I have. Power cuts and a small desk haven't stopped me yet.
BEIRUT --:-- · POWER ON · ROOM 3B STILL UP
By day
- Technical lead at an IT company in Beirut, since 2021.
- A repair team, the vendors behind it, and the customers who need things working by morning.
- Banks, universities and embassies, mostly fixed from a screen away.
- The pre-sales side too: matching what a customer needs, honestly, before anything is sold.
The rest of the story lives on LinkedIn.
How I work
- 1Break it on purpose, then read the logs.
- 2Ship the small version first. It teaches more than the plan does.
- 3Write down what fixed it, so it stays fixed.
- 4If something is in the way, build around it.
Some years here are harder than others. The power comes and goes, the room is shared, and the desk is small. I've stopped waiting for better conditions. The conditions are the curriculum.
Building something?
I'd like to hear about it. Questions, ideas, or something you want built together.
