About Me

that's me!

Creative explorer on a mission to make the most with whatever we have.

see my stuff!

Who the hell is she? ...do i wanna know?

I'm someone who gets genuinely excited about what makes communities tick.

By day, I lead a development team at Contentserv, building PIM software that actually brings something new to the field. By night (and weekends), I'm working on local.foundation, a platform helping other community builders organize and get insights about their community.

You'll find me jumping around the Algarve tech scene, mostly through Geek Sessions Faro, where we bring together people who love tech as much as they love good conversation (beer optional, passion required). After studying in different Portuguese cities and working with multicultural teams, I've learned that the magic happens when you throw different perspectives into a room and let them solve problems together.

I've got the brain of a software engineer but the restless heart of an artist. I can't stick to just one thing. And honestly, why should anyone? So I'm constantly juggling between writing, drawing, organizing events, and somehow accumulating an absolutely unreasonable number of music playlists (90+ and counting... it's a problem).

When I'm not accidentally starting new projects, you'll catch me organizing hackathons like Techstars Startup Weekend and Impact Hackers. I'm still working on that whole "sleep is important" concept, but hey: life's too interesting to waste time being tired!

What Drives Me

my core values ↓

Permission to Be Messy

Helping people embrace their full, chaotic, multi-passionate selves instead of forcing themselves into neat boxes

Movement & Connection

Creating spaces where different kinds of people can solve problems together and find their humanity in each other

Controlled Chaos

Proving that you can be organized in the chaos. Planning creates the container, but magic happens in the spontaneous moments

this one!

The Joy of Trying

Life's not that serious. I'd rather be remembered as someone who enjoyed trying than someone who played it safe
