Hey, I'm Alexandre!
I'm a frontend developer with over a decade of experience turning design into fast, accessible, and expressive websites. I live at the crossroads of WordPress, headless builds with Next.js, and design systems that actually make sense.
I’m also an English teacher, amateur musician, vinyl hoarder, and a writer/photographer for Underfloripa. I believe good code has rhythm, a killer sentence is like a well-placed guitar solo, and São Paulo is the most electrifying city on the planet. I like my interfaces like I like my records: clean, bold, and full of texture.
Whether I’m designing components, teaching conditionals, or reviewing a hardcore gig in a sweaty club, I bring the same love for structure, flow, and impact. I build things that move — on screen, on stage, and in people’s heads.
Life During (Extra) Time
This Must Be the Place (for Music)
I play guitar and bass, and I'm also taking singing lessons. I collect records — from post-rock to Brazilian 70s psychedelia. My prized possession is a German reissue of My Bloody Valentine's *Loveless*.
The Book(s) I Read
I'm pursuing a degree in English Language and Literature at the University of São Paulo (USP). I love critical theory, short stories, and writing essays.
Speaking in Tongues
I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian. I also know a bit of German and Dutch. Currently, I’m working on a project teaching English to fellow software developers.
Nothing But Flowers and Street Gaps
São Paulo is my playground. I skate (when my knees allow it), I eat street food, and I take photos of buildings and stuff I find on the street — always mindful of my surroundings.
