};

I'm a software developer based in Portugal, working mostly with PHP/Symfony on the backend and JavaScript on the front. I care about clean, maintainable code and about shipping things that actually solve the problem.

I like the whole picture — from designing the data model to dockerizing the app and setting up CI so it deploys itself. This site is where I keep track of what I'm building: projects, experiments and tools.
