What I'm looking for

I’m open to senior or lead roles in front-end web and mobile, fully remote from Portugal (UTC+0/+1).

At ODD bureau, I led the front end of hillhelicopters.com, the HX50's only sales channel. I built its buying journey, including a 2D configurator, 3D integration, range simulator, e-signed contracts, and client area; Hill pre-sold 1,400+ aircraft through the site.

I also owned the Globe Soccer Awards apps across three technology generations, from Objective-C and Java to Swift and the React Native rewrite I proposed. The apps reached 2M+ combined downloads, ranked #1 Free Sports App across most Gulf countries, and supported annual voting peaks of 16M votes.

My work spans web and mobile, with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and React Native, as well as native iOS and Android development. On Careonics, I helped replace an unreliable Bluetooth library with native modules; I’m open to senior or lead front-end and React Native roles, fully remote from Portugal.
