What I have done so far
Work Experience.
Independent Developer: Recovery & Open Source
Personal Chapter
- After wrapping up my last role, life threw a curveball... A serious motorcycle crash. That meant a long hospital stay, multiple surgeries, and a recovery process that became its own full-time job. (10/10 would not recommend as a career coach).
- While I was immobile, I invested the time in my craft: reading, building, and shipping code. I deepened my skills in React and Node.js, stayed up to date with the frontend/full-stack ecosystem, and kept momentum with open‑source on GitHub and remote freelance work.
- I'm currently finishing a full-stack rebuild for three Portuguese companies: Spotless Home, Oficina do Condomínio, and Select and Style.
- This chapter gave me clarity: I want to contribute to a company whose values I believe in and where my work creates tangible value. I'm back with focus and grit! Treating my career like the priority it deserves.
