I was born and raised in Cascais (Portugal), in a small neighbourhood where as children we spent every day playing in the streets and every night around the Spectrum computer playing R-Type, Double Dragon, Outrun, (just to mention a few). “Spectrum machine language for the absolute beginner” was my first code book. Then I saw Nintendo – Super Mario. I went totally crazy. I loved all the geeky stuff but of course I spent more time looking at graphics/images/shapes/colours. Nowadays, I realize that those times were a big influence… maybe that’s why I enjoy working in a position that brings together the design and the code team. I’m a natural observer. It doesn’t matter if it is an image, video, installation, a shape or something more traditional. A few months ago I finished a professional Japanese Cuisine Course, took a wood and carving workshop and open and Oyster Bar in Lisbon. Yes, I’m addicted for new things and I want to learn the basics. After all, I never stopped being a geek.
