Frontend Developer
About

Frontend developer focused on design-driven interfaces. After years in manufacturing, security and retail, I turned to programming in September 2025 as a way to create again, reconnecting with a part of myself that had been there since childhood. Since then I have shipped five projects of my own and led the frontend of a client platform, live since July 2026, that runs a combat sports association's membership, bookings and payments.

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, and open to remote.

Selected Projects
Academia Combate de Gaia academiacombategaia.pt

Live since July 2026. Membership platform for a combat sports association in Vila Nova de Gaia with around 400 members, replacing three disconnected third-party services with one system the client owns outright. Public site, member portal with self-service registration and class booking, admin panel, payments, ticketed events with QR check-in and financial reporting. I own the frontend and the design system; a second developer owned the backend and, partway through, I absorbed that scope along with QA, infrastructure and the client relationship. Implementation is AI-assisted, directed and reviewed by me. Case study.
