About me
I trained at Escola Profissional de Esposende (EPE) as an IT and management technician, and later specialised in web programming.
I started in 2007 at OFF Systems as an IT technician and web developer. From 2008 to 2015 I was a web designer and developer at Wemake, Tecnologias de Informação, working across the innovation (layouts and schemes) and engineering departments.
Since 2015 I've been a full-stack developer at SIGNED - Design and Web in Esposende, and I take on selected freelance projects. My day-to-day involves Vue and Nuxt, React and Next.js, PHP, Node and TypeScript, Docker and Kubernetes and, more and more, automation with n8n and AI.
I don't take anything for granted. That's why I keep learning and trying new ways to reach goals with quality.

I don't measure myself only by who I am, but by what I build
- Passion
- I'm lucky to do what I love, and it shows in the care given to every detail.
- Innovation
- I keep looking for new and better ways to solve the problem. I explore, combine and solve.
- Commitment
- I follow every project closely, from the first sketch to support after launch.
- Quality
- Clean, tested and documented code, with the same care for design and functionality.
