I'm Dan, a design engineer living in Porto, Portugal. I design and build web apps, from user flows and branding in Figma to the React and TypeScript code.

With 5+ years of frontend engineering and a background in communication design and technical writing, I care about thoughtful, user-friendly interfaces and clear communication. Have a look at my recent work.

When I'm not at my computer I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy books, befriending stray cats, and drinking excessive amounts of tea.
