Frontend Developer
About

Frontend developer focused on design-driven interfaces. After years in manufacturing, security and retail, I returned to creative work through code in September 2025, drawn back to something I had loved as a child. I care about how things look as much as how they work, and I'm currently completing two formal training tracks while building real projects, including a custom platform for a client launching summer 2026.

Looking for my first frontend role where design and code matter equally. Based in Vila Nova de Gaia, with a preference for on-site work in the Porto area but open to remote roles with Portuguese-registered companies.
