## Bio

Before I ever touched a production app or led a dev team, I was a mIRC coder — writing scripts for bots, automating channel ops, and helping users on PTNet as one of the official coders in a support channel. It was messy, it was fun, and it was the start of everything.

I didn't have a roadmap, but I had curiosity. That led me to freelancing, building and selling small tools online. My best-selling script was a site that scraped Google Cinema and turned it into a dynamic movie schedule by town. Another detected ad-blockers and blurred the page until you turned them off. Simple, slightly cheeky, but effective.

My first professional gig took me from Portugal to Belgium — to work at Toyota. I was writing jQuery and HTML, mostly duct-taping things together. No types, no linters, "API contracts" were conversations with the backend team. But I had drive. Each line of code was a chance to do better.

After Betfair at BLiP, I started pushing beyond frontend — jumping into different areas of the stack, helping across teams. At ReadinessIT for Entel, I came in as a developer and ended up leading the squad. I advocated for Angular, mentored others, connected with architects. I discovered that explaining things came naturally — and that my opinions mattered.

I found BEPRO through open-source contributions on GitHub. Started picking off issues, shared progress in Telegram, and before long I was deeply entangled in the SDK. That work became the foundation of BEPRO's MVP — making blockchain development feel like Web2 with typed TypeScript bindings for smart contracts. The founders asked me to join as CTO. I said yes.

After the acquisition by TAIKAI, I shifted from code to people. Still hands-on when needed, but more focused on team health, mentorship, and feedback. We grew from 2 developers to 3 plus QA. I started doing real 1-on-1s. I watched juniors level up into pros.

## Current Focus

Always exploring. Currently deep into AI tooling and adapting to whatever the project needs — right now that's .NET, TypeScript, Terraform, and GCP.
