Been in the business for over 15 years, I'm CEO and founding partner at MOXY (https://moxy.studio), an award winning software and design studio with 3 offices across Porto and Madeira, currently with a team of 26 people and growing. We focus on finding an ideal balance between impact, excellence, and pragmatism.

Summing it up, my main skills developing applications and services include Node.js, NoSQL, PHP, OOP, Relational Databases, Full-text engines, web-service and API integration, JavaScript, React, Redux, HTML, CSS, all of which, I've been using to create scalable, high performance, high availability and failure tolerant web applications.
