João Afonso
Product Owner at Openvia Portugal
Who am I?
I’m a friendly and humorous person who always tries to see a positive side to situations.
I’m from Porto, the city and the club, and I live in Vila Nova de Gaia. I like going to see FCP at the stadium, music, movies and playing padel.
I also can’t go without making plans with my friends and family.
What´s my story?
I have a degree in Computer Engineering from Isep, in Porto, and worked as a frontend developer for 2 years.
My love of technological systems was combined with a desire to develop products that simplify life for the end user, which led me to join the technological side with the business side. So I took a master’s degree in Service Engineering and Management at FEUP, which allowed me to embark on the path of Product Owner.
What do I do at Openvia?
In Openvia I work as a Product Owner, more specifically in the Frontend team. My job is to be the link between the business and the development team.
I work on product conceptualization, together with all the backend teams, but focusing on the visual part of the software. I then write the requirements necessary for implementation, prioritize and manage the entire backlog, always with a focus on meeting delivery dates.
Ask me about…?
Backlog management, product development, scrum. Non work related you can ask me mainly about movies, music and football.
