Porfírio Ribeiro

Hello! I'm Porfírio, a self-taught software developer from Portugal.

I switched careers from farming to software development to follow my dream. Today I lead a small development team and work across the full stack.

I started as a frontend developer with JavaScript, SCSS and React, then moved into backend development with Java/Kotlin and the Spring framework — becoming a full-stack developer along the way. I also built the company's mobile app with Dart and Flutter.

Throughout this journey I've created some small open-source libraries, which you can find on GitHub and npm. I also keep a list of resources I've found useful along the way.

My one public talk was at a meetup where I talked about an investigation I was doing with Preact by adding a new API to write components based on the Vue Composition API.

You can follow me on GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn or reach me at [email protected].
