UX/UI & Web Developer

Custom designs engineered for your Business

I apply user-centered design and web development to build custom web solutions that fit your vision.

My Work

Portfolio revamp

This site itself is my latest case study, an upgrade from my very first portfolio. My original site was where I learned the ropes of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but it lacked clear structure and a soothing design. With this revamp, I set out to apply a solid layout, organize content intuitively, and wrap it all in a calming, cohesive look. It’s proof that thoughtful structure and clean visuals can turn a rough prototype into a welcoming, user-friendly experience.

Critical Software

Role: UX Engineer

Currently, I'm doing UX work for Critical software. I'm using user‑centered design and design‑thinking methods, keeping our design system documentation up to date so visuals stayed consistent and everyone from developers to clients were aligned. By running regular design reviews and hands‑on user tests, I gathered feedback and iterated on prototypes to boost usability and polish each interaction.

Siemens

Role: Engineering technician

Although the role was primarily focused on engineering and HVAC systems, one of the key tasks that sparked my interest in design was creating and implementing personalized user interfaces for Siemens’ building management system using Desigo CC. I applied user research to understand client needs and prioritized features through clear information hierarchy to build a strong, user-centric foundation. This work was carried out for over 50 clients across Portugal in industries such as industrial, healthcare, logistics, and hospitality.
