André Pires, Product Manager | Technical Product Manager

About

Associate Product Manager seeking to build an outstanding product in a collaborative team and business. Time's too short for managing irrelevant backlog items when all you need is sticking to critical customer needs. Treat your codebase wisely, it's your product in every single aspect, not what you think it is.
