I started my career in Lisbon, joining Unbabel as one of their first employees. We built interfaces for translators and later rebuilt the iOS app in Swift, and I stayed through the company's Series B.

In 2018, I moved to Sydney to join Airtasker. There, I helped bring the product to new markets, introduced a Backend-for-Frontend approach, and contributed to the creation of a mobile design system as the company scaled.

From there, Shopify and Toronto. Working on the Point of Sale app, I built software that interacts closely with hardware like card readers and receipt printers. The project I’m proudest of was a swipe-based PIN entry system designed for visually impaired users.

Most recently, I co-founded OnePlusOne with two friends. We built AI that handles what recruiting agencies do manually: conducting voice interviews, scoring candidates, delivering shortlists. To go all in, we moved to San Francisco.

Outside of work, I spend my time bouldering and skateboarding, going to concerts, tinkering with coffee gear, and occasionally disappearing into a videogame.
