a Full-Stack Developer
hailing from sunny
Lisbon, Portugal.
With almost a decade of experience in software development, I've evolved into a versatile full-stack engineer with a particular focus on web technologies. My journey began in marketing and advertising, providing me with a unique perspective on user experience and interface design that complements my technical skills on software development.
My development journey has taken me through a diverse range of technologies, from C++, C# and .Net, Python and Django to JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Vue, Redux, Next.js, Nuxt.js, Node.js, Bun, Express, Hono, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Prisma, Drizzle, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, AWS, Vercel, and a lot more.
I'm always eager to learn new technologies and stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends. I'm particularly passionate about building scalable, performant web applications. My current focus is on leveraging the React ecosystem, especially Next.js, to create robust full-stack solutions. For frontend-centric projects, I enjoy using React with Vite for rapid development and optimal performance.
In my approach to development I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and staying current with industry best practices. I've a user-centric approach to development, always considering the end-user experience in my technical decisions.
When I'm not immersed in lines of code, you'll find me exploring new technologies and contributing to open-source projects, mentoring junior developers and sharing knowledge through tech meetups, balancing work with life like hiking with my chocolate Labrador, traveling to new destinations, or maintaining a regular fitness routine, indulging in creative pursuits like music and drawing, which I find complementary to problem-solving in software development.
I'm fortunate to have a twin brother who's also in the tech industry, which leads to fascinating discussions and collaborations.
In essence, I'm a problem-solver and lifelong learner, always excited about new challenges and creative solutions in the ever-evolving world of software development. Cheers to new, disruptive and creative ideas and endless possibilities!
