My "bureaucratic" self.

Profile

I'm a technology enthusiast, passionate not only about functional pieces of code, but also deeply concerned with clean, readable code, and the use of standards and software patterns.

I try to extend the quality of the things I make - good coding - to the final product, which usually is revealed in a rich user experience and carefully thought user interfaces.

In parallel to the build technologic products passion, I'm also very interested in entrepreneurship. In order to learn more about the subject, I often go to talks and conferences, and submit ideas to contests (3DS Coimbra, iUP25k, 3DS Porto). That gave me public speaking experience and the ability to perform non-boring and objective pitches.
