I'm a software engineer based in Coimbra, Portugal, with over 7 years of web development experience. I'm passionate about creating software that solves real-world problems and enhances people's lives.
Who I am
I started my journey in software engineering driven by curiosity and a desire to build things that matter. Over the years, that curiosity has grown into a craft - one I apply every day to system design, build, and ship reliable software products.
I have experience working both in-office and remotely with individuals from various countries, time zones, and cultures. That exposure has sharpened my communication and collaboration skills and taught me the value of clarity, async-first thinking, and empathy in distributed teams.
Outside of work I enjoy learning about product, design, and the intersection between technology and business. I believe good engineers don't just write code - they understand the problem deeply and choose the simplest tool that solves it well.
What I do
My core focus is full-stack web development. I work across the stack - from designing database schemas and building APIs to crafting frontend interfaces that are fast, accessible, and delightful to use.
I pay close attention to performance, maintainability, and developer experience. I care about writing code that the next person (including future me) can understand and extend without friction.
Currently
I'm part of a great team at Park, where we build campground management software that is simple, powerful, and free for campground owners. We help them manage their operations and accept online reservations - no contracts, no hidden costs.
