About Miguel
A technical partner with real production AI experience.
I work with SMEs that want AI to improve operations in a practical way. That means fewer buzzwords, clearer decisions, and systems that hold up once they are live.
Hi, I'm Miguel Cabrita.
My background combines mathematics, data science, product thinking, and delivery in real business environments.
I spent six years building machine learning systems in production in the banking industry, where the work was recognized with international awards including Banking Tech Awards, Portugal Digital Awards, and Financial Innovation Awards.
Later, as an EU-backed AI researcher, I worked with EDP Renewables North America in Houston on applied AI research focused on real operational problems in renewables, not lab experiments.
Today I bring that same level of rigor to SMEs: AI advisory, workflow design, implementation, and training that fit the realities of a small or mid-sized team.
I also build my own businesses, including Portablebit, which keeps me grounded in the trade-offs founders and operators actually face when choosing tools, spending money, and deciding what to automate.
Selected milestones
The authority story matters because clients are trusting me with real business processes, not side projects.
EDP Renewables NA
EU-backed applied AI research in the United States, part of an EU-USA funded research collaboration.
Two-time founder
Founder of two data and AI companies, building products and teams from the ground up in Portugal and Europe.
Client funding support
Helped secure more than EUR50K in EU innovation funding and built practical implementation plans behind it.
How I tend to work
I prefer short sentences, clear trade-offs, and building only what will actually get used. If something should stay manual, I will say that directly.
Outside work, you will usually find me climbing, in the mountains, or making music. That balance matters to how I design systems too: the end state should feel lighter, calmer, and easier to run.
If your business is carrying too much repetitive work, we should talk.
The first step is usually a working session to look at the current process, the bottlenecks, and what is worth automating.
