Miguel Graça

Back in 2014, when I first decidided I wanted to build my first website about my favorite video game at the time (FIFA), I had no idea that I was falling into a huge rabbit hole that is the web development world. This desire for creating websites and experiences for others on the internet, would then lead me into a long journey of learning how to code, an engineering degree, and into today's age where I'm creating highly interactive experiences using React.

Through this journey, I had the opportunity of helping at the very beggining of a startup. and create amazing interfaces as a freelancer.

My professional journey includes creating complex data visualization components at Nokia for their Cybersecurity SaaS Product. Currently, I'm building an amazing checkout experience as a Frontend Engineer at Paddle, where I work on creating a seamless payment experience for thousands of software companies worldwide. I'm also constantly working on multiple personal projects.

If I'm not coding, I'm most certainly playing padel, watching football, or hanging out with my friends/family.
