Where do you believe technology meets sustainability in your vision?

Based on my definition of sustainability, technology can improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, pollution and improve resource conservation, helping to achieve sustainability by using resources more efficiently and reducing environmental impact like what we do here at Sustaira.

Tell us a little bit about you! Just a couple fun facts or something people may not know. What do you believe people need to know about Diogo? 

So I was actually a lifeguard before I started university to be a developer, so I have had other work experiences in areas very different to IT, and I’m also an avid chess player. I learned it at a very young age through my grandpa and that enthusiasm about the game never went away.
