Frontend Architect

Barcelos, Portugal

Senior Frontend Architect and engineering leader with more than 20 years of experience designing and building software systems across consulting and enterprise environments. Throughout my career I’ve worked across backend, frontend, and cloud platforms, helping organizations design scalable applications and modern web architectures. My experience spans multiple industries including pharmaceutical, retail, energy, automotive, and banking. Today my main focus is modern frontend architecture, building large-scale web platforms using micro-frontends, cloud technologies, and modern JavaScript ecosystems including React, Vue, LitElement, and Node/NestJS. I’m particularly interested in framework engineering and the evolution of frontend systems. In this blog I share ideas, experiments, and lessons learned while engineering the modern frontend — from architecture decisions and framework design to exploring new concepts such as AI-native UI systems.
