About

Building things
that matter.

CS engineer from Portugal, currently based in Zurich. I studied at the University of Maia and did an Erasmus year at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, where I built an autonomous robot from scratch.

I work across the full stack: Next.js and TypeScript on the front end, Flask, Supabase, and PostgreSQL on the back end. I've built SaaS products, e-commerce stores, and enterprise-grade tooling.

Outside of code, I run a vehicle import business, co-founded a non-profit, and help build fashion brands. I speak three languages and I'm learning German.
