I'm currently based in Lisbon, before I’ve been in Madrid for 7 years and Barcelona for 1 year.

I’ve been working in IT for + 15 years and been on freelancing since 2011. On my last 5 years I’ve been dedicating to web design, S.E.O., front-end developing and Wordpress.What I like the most about freelancing are the challenges that come with each project. Looking for better and smart solutions is what keeps me doing it.

Experience
• Wordpress: create themes from scratch or customize existing ones.
• Front end Development: I work with HTML, CSS, jQuery, Javascript, Gulp y Npm.
• Web Design: Mockups with Adobe XD, after I start to front-end development.
• Hosting: I host many of my customers websites and work with hosting companies to provide different solutions.
• S.E.O.: 6+ years experience working in the US Market. I’ve worked with popular affiliate networks: Amazon, ShareASale, Clickbank and Optimal Fusion. Tuning SEO, content strategy and creation (text, image and video) to target specific keywords is key to boost organic traffic.

Education
• I’ve studied in ISCTE, Lisbon Portugal and graduated in IT & Management at 2006.

I started coding in Basic when I was a child with a Commodore Plus/4 my parents won at a raffle they participated.I liked that and I felt comfortable writing words that later on would have been drawing shapes on my screen.

I studied Computer Science and I discovered my passion for its scientific code-free side, problem solving strategies and software development.

Later on I started working, enjoying how translate real life problems into a machine-readable language and constantly learning new ways to do it and its tools.I refined my skills aiming for a clever design and a well-written code trying always to deliver elegant solutions where few pieces can perform complex tasks in a simple way and leaving a wide open door for further developments.

Experience
• I worked at various firms (Acciona, Carrefour and Toprural being some of them) using J2EE as my primary platform along with MySQL, Hibernate, Lucene, Stripes, Maven, Jquery, Amazon S3, EC2, Rails and some other framework or language and using Scrum as methodology.
• In 2011 I started to work as a freelancer and I started using Ruby on Rails deploying its services in the cloud with AppFog, DotCloud and Openshift and working with Android and all technologies related to it (Java, Gradle, JSON, ...).

Education
• I studied Computer Science.
