    About Me

    I'm a software engineer working remotely from Portugal. I have a passion for creating elegant solutions to complex problems. With over 5 years of experience in full-stack development, I enjoy building applications that are both technically sound and user-friendly.

    My journey in software development began when I built my first website at 18. Since then, I've dedicated myself to continuously learning new technologies and improving my craft.

    I've taken on some freelance work to small businesses in my area which helped me gain practical experience.

    My Approach

    Clean Code

    I prioritize writing maintainable, well-documented code that follows best practices and design patterns.

    User-Centric Design

    I believe in creating software that not only works flawlessly but also provides an intuitive and enjoyable user experience.

    Continuous Learning

    The tech landscape is constantly evolving, and I'm committed to staying updated with the latest tools and technologies.
