Crafted on the side

Flow Status Header

I built a Figma widget that tracks design and development progress directly on the canvas — keeping designers, developers, and PMs in sync without leaving Figma.

Wordpress Theme

This website

Built with Claude Code using vibe coding, I created a fully custom WordPress theme designed and developed without a page builder. You're looking at it.

Life beyond pixels

I believe the most meaningful work is born from a clear and intentional life. I moved to Figueira da Foz for its unique pace: the restorative light, the ocean, and the quiet. This environment fosters the stillness I seek through yoga and meditation, providing the focus to solve complex problems.

Whether I’m on the tennis court, exploring a new piece of technology, or framing a moment with my Fujifilm, my goal remains the same: to find the essence of the experience. It’s a search for clarity that flows from my design systems to long conversations over a meal or a quiet afternoon with my French Bulldog. To me, minimalism isn’t just an aesthetic, it’s the practice of removing the noise so that only the essential remains.
