Porto Tech Connect – May Edition

📍 Location: Devexperts Porto
🎤 Talk: “Patterns of Trust”
👩‍💻 Speaker: Maria “Majo” Castillo, Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts

About the Event

Porto Tech Connect brings together tech professionals, leaders, and curious minds for an evening of insights, meaningful conversations, and high-quality networking.

This May edition will be hosted at Devexperts Porto and will feature a thought-provoking talk on one of the most underestimated drivers of success in tech: trust.

🎤 The Talk – “Patterns of Trust”

Quality is built by people — not just processes.

In this session, Maria “Majo” Castillo will explore how trust becomes the invisible framework behind every successful project. Great QAs don’t just find bugs — they recognize the human patterns that shape quality:

• How we listen
• How we communicate
• How we question
• How we respond to uncertainty

When we nurture these patterns, testing becomes connection, feedback becomes growth, and collaboration evolves into shared leadership.

👩‍💻 About the Speaker

Maria Castillo (Majo) is a Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts.

With a background in mathematics, nearly 10 years of teaching experience, and expertise in customer experience, she brings a deeply human-centered perspective to quality assurance. Her unique mix of logic and empathy makes quality not only structured — but profoundly human.
