About
From a village bar to enterprise architecture
I grew up in Avelar, a village of about 2,000 people in central Portugal. Everything I do since has the same thread: bring people together as equals, and build things that work.

Born and raised in Avelar, Ansião (Terras de Sicó), where village parties taught me what community feels like.

Paripax
One home for all of it: architecture work, ventures, apps and ideas — under the name that has always been my motto.
What I care about
Equality
Pari + pax: peace follows when people meet as equals — in a team, at a party or in a city.
Community
Projects are only as strong as the people around them. I build with local partners, not around them.
Building
From iFlows to festivals to small apps: I like making real things that work, then making them better.
