The person behind the code
I studied psychology expecting to work with people, but during the 2020 lockdowns I discovered my passion for programming.
A lot of this job isn't just code, it's understanding what a client actually needs and uncovering the requirements of their project.
Knowing how to listen and communicate clearly is, by far, what saves the most time on any project.
What can I offer you?
Direct dealing
No intermediaries. You'll talk to whoever is working on your project, writes the code, and answers the phone when something breaks.
No account manager, no handoffs. Whoever scopes your project writes the code and answers when something breaks.
Personal attention
If what you've asked for won't get you the results you expect, or I have suggestions that could help, I'll tell you before we start.

Clear communication
You'll never have to ask where a project stands. I'll keep you updated on progress or any issues that come up.
You'll never have to ask where a project stands. If something slips, you'll hear it from me first.
Professional handover
Full documentation, a clean handover, standard tooling. Another developer should be able to pick up the project without depending on me.
Documentation, clean handover, standard tooling. Nothing should make me hard to replace.
Long relationships and commitment
Hugo makes it very easy to work with him. We asked him to build our website from scratch, and from the very first moment he understood what we were looking for. He's a perfectionist and walks you through every step of the process, advising us the whole way — on design, on the site's usability, and something we really appreciated, on SEO too. Not to mention he has endless patience! Fully recommended.
Hugo is methodical while never losing sight of the project as a whole. Agile, organised communication, and every deadline met.
Working with Hugo on our website was a great experience. He met the agreed deadlines and brought visual solutions that answered our needs well. A serious professional, fully recommended.
Hugo made sure every detail we asked for came out exactly to our liking. He works extremely well and knows how to apply and execute the vision we had. We're very happy with the result.
