Building modern web experiences with a passion for clean code and thoughtful design. Based in Porto, Portugal — the birthplace of port wine and a city of timeless explorers.
A developer who believes great software starts with curiosity.
I am based in Porto, Portugal — the exquisite birthplace of port wine. Like the Portuguese navigators of old, I am driven by a restless curiosity to explore new territories, whether they are unknown repositories or emerging technologies.
I am a self-described early adopter, always seeking to understand and harness the next evolution of the web. I find that the best digital products come from people who are deeply curious about how things work and genuinely care about the people using them.
