Hi, I’m Inês Prada, a software engineer based in Utrecht, Netherlands. I studied Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minho, Braga, where I discovered my passion for backend development. I’ve built full‑stack solutions with .NET, C#, and React, moved builds to modern pipelines, and coordinated offshore teams. I’m currently exploring how AI can support development and I’m working on a personal project focused on housing and planning, while enjoying time with my daughter and hobbies like puzzles, crocheting, and hiking.
