Senior software engineer building at Talent Protocol. Ten years shipping products. Side-projects on nights and weekends. Reluctantly online.

01About

I'm a software engineer from Lisbon. I've spent the last decade shipping products — from telco testing rigs to property software to onchain identity. Today I'm at Talent Protocol working on reputation primitives for builders.

My sweet spot is the middle of the stack: fast feedback loops, thoughtful APIs, tidy React on top. I care about the craft of software — the small choices that compound into something that feels good to use.

Outside of work I read history and tinker with weekend projects that rarely make it to a README.

Based: Lisbon, PT
