Software developer with hands-on experience building and shipping production applications across mobile (Flutter) and web (React) platforms. Self-driven and project-oriented, comfortable across the full development cycle — from API design and database architecture to user experience and deployment. Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering at Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo. I focus on designing practical, secure, and user-friendly products—combining backend systems, modern frontends, and mobile experiences. I enjoy taking projects from idea to deployment, integrating AI when helpful, and building scalable applications using tools like FastAPI, React, Flutter, PostgreSQL, and Firebase/Supabase.
