Hi, I'm João Lopes.

Frontend Developer / Designer / Writer.

Twenty years in frontend, where I've led commercial web ecosystems, taken over monolithic sites and rebuilt them component by component.

I have a soft spot for (un)organized methodologies and the chaotic order of teamwork, and I do my best work inside constraints. Hey, like lightning striking twice in the same spot, it happens!

and made it to the real world.

  • Travelling / Books / Music / Earworms / Epiphanies / Family
  • Realizing that the abyss stares back at you, and it is inept.
