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 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.
