Father of a crazy little monster, I’m a graphic and front end developer from Madeira Island, in the middle of the Atlantic. I like technology, movies, videogames and all types of music. I fell in love with web and interaction in the good old Flash days. I am constantly looking to improve myself and my skills! As CoFounder of HereWeGo, I am head of the creative department and responsible for product development. Among other tasks I’ve designed the website and the iOS app.
