Based in Portugal (with full EU work rights), I combine 16+ years of UX/UI design, frontend engineering, and AI automation to take digital products from research and Design Systems directly into production:

• Enterprise Scale at IFPR: Designed, built, and maintained multi-campus web platforms serving 25,000+ students and staff, supporting over 17 million page views and 5 million visitors.
• Design Systems & Platform Architecture: Architected tokenized component libraries (Penpot, Figma) and custom WordPress/React engines, including an admissions platform officially adopted by peer institutions.
• Public Transparency Engine: Built an automated CSV data ingestion pipeline and WordPress CPT architecture with multi-faceted search for thousands of official notices and contracts.
• AI & MCP-Augmented Delivery: Building at 5x velocity using AI coding agents, custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and self-hosted Linux applications (from real-time solar inverter telemetry diagnostics to an adaptive Apple Watch running coach).

I hold an M.Sc. in Technology and Society and a Postgraduate Diploma in Web Development. Because I spent years operating as a high-velocity “one-person product and engineering team” collaborating directly with executive leadership, I own the entire lifecycle: from user research and design tokens to production code and automated workflows.

I’m passionate about using design engineering and AI to solve complex, real-world problems. Whether you’re scaling an existing product, building an AI-native interface, or eliminating design-to-engineering handoff friction, I’m here to help your team ship faster.
