I build practical tools, improve workflows and help software feel native to European Portuguese users — across automation, localization and media tooling.
Born to explore. Coded to connect.

European Portuguese that feels native
Beyond literal translation
I translate and review software with UI context, terminology consistency, functional clarity and natural pt-PT as the priorities.
- Natural European Portuguese, clearly distinct from pt-BR
- UI and functional context before literal wording
- Consistent technical terminology and software conventions
- Proofreading, linguistic QA and user-facing clarity
Good localization should feel as if the product were originally written for its users.
