Software Developer in Porto, Portugal

I collaborated with the design agency, Saint Friend, to implement the testimonials page for Alto Pharmacy. Saint Friend provided the designs for large and small screens, and I implemented them while suggesting solutions for corner cases not contemplated in the designs.

As part of my master's thesis, I created a C# application that connects to the browser via sockets and sends data from Microsoft Kinect. I then developed a JavaScript framework to allow for user interaction based on motion events. These interactions included pressing buttons, scrolling through the page, image and PDF interactions (pitching, zoom, and rotation), and video interactions.

The current Seedrs' look and feel was introduced in 2015 as part of a responsive redesign that was rolled out on a per-page basis. The pages that I worked on include the investment opportunities page and the how-to-invest page.

Technologies: Haml, Sass, jQuery

I led the Rails 5 upgrade of the company profiles section of Xing. It was a ten-year-old legacy project and required exhaustive controller test refactoring, dependency updates, and removal of legacy mass assignment code from Rails 3.

In 2012, I was invited to take ownership of the program for 2013's ENEI. This project involved choosing, contacting, and scheduling speakers on topics such as information security (infosec), internet of things (IoT), web development, and mobile computing. The attendance forecast was of 300 attendees. However, we ended up having 600 attendees, which led to a last-minute expansion of the program.

I gave a talk at Pixels Camp 2019 on how to use mob programming to deliver more maintainable code with fewer defects. This practice reduces the back-and-forth actions in code review processes by having the team collaborate in a disciplined manner and providing feedback in real-time before the code gets to the code review step.
