Frontend Engineer

About

I am a self-taught Frontend Engineer based in Lisbon, with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in delivering exceptional digital experiences and designing robust Design Systems.


With an extensive background in React and Next.js, I specialize in building efficient, scalable, and performant web applications. I thrive on bringing the vision of design to life through seamless development processes.


In addition, I have honed my skills in facilitating efficient design-to-development workflows using tools like Figma and Storybook. This allows for smoother collaboration and faster iteration to create pixel-perfect interfaces.
