AI Product Engineer  ·  Product Manager  ·  Front-End Engineer
_{I build with foundation models and ship real products. Braga, Portugal.}

Product Manager at Foco Criativo, and an engineer who never stopped shipping. I came up through code - Software Engineer, then Product Owner, then Product Manager, all on the same product - and I still write front-end code today. Staying close to the craft is deliberate: it means I prototype an idea instead of describing it, and I write specs engineers can actually build from.

The work I care most about right now is applied AI. Not research - building. Foundation models in the loop, real products, real users, and an honest read on where AI creates value versus where it's just noise.

I don't think you understand a technology until you've built something with it. Everything below is me finding out.

If a model is part of how the team works, the product-management layer has to live where the model can actually see it. Not in Jira - in the repo. So I built it: three installable Claude Code skills. Plain Markdown, zero dependencies, zero hosting.

Agile-Ledger The full Scrum lifecycle - epics, sprints, velocity, bugs, releases - as plain Markdown in your repo, driven by slash commands. GitHub holds the code; this holds the why.	Idea-Ledger Capture ideas, track how each evolves, version what ships - in two Markdown files. One invariant: nothing is ever deleted.	Cartographer Reads a project's repos and writes the stakeholder docs nobody wants to write - what each product does, never how it's built. Markdown + PDF.

Games are unforgiving in a way that CRUD apps aren't: the loop either works or it doesn't, and no architecture diagram saves you. Both were built with a model in the loop, which was half the point - finding out where it excels as a coding partner and where it needs steering.

Movize — a multimodal mobility ecosystem at Foco Criativo. A passenger app, the Movize Connect portal (GTFS editor, street furniture & sensors, events), an operators app, and the public web app. I own the roadmap end to end, run discovery and validation, and still ship front-end code for it. Closed source, so it isn't here - the story is in my portfolio.
