About me

About me

About me

Yoo! My name is Gabriel Espinheira and I'm a 28yo, Carioca (from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) who swapped Cristo Redentor for Pastéis de Nata, now living in Lisbon.

Fell in love with coding at 18yo and turned it into a career. Now, with 9 years of experience under my belt as a Senior Software Engineer, I've crafted my skills in both back-end and front-end, always aiming for that perfect blend of form and function.

I believe in creating digital products that are not just functional, but visually appealing - because let's face it, aesthetics and performance go hand in hand!

Away from the keyboard, I dive into non-fiction books about design, finances, productivity, architecture, photography and geopolitics. With my camera as my constant companion, I love capturing the essence of my daily life and the adventures that travel brings.
