Bio

Formou-se em Psicologia mas desenvolveu actividade profissional na área gráfica desde os anos 1980. Dedicou-se à edição, tradução, revisão, design e, mais recentemente, ao WordPress. Em 2005 criou a ovni (http://ovni.org), editora dedicada a géneros menos comuns. Actualmente colabora com a Empower (http://empower.pt). Apaixonado pela flexibilidade e simplicidade de processos do WordPress, procura privilegiar a usabilidade dos suportes, sejam digitais ou analógicos. Faz parte da Comunidade Portuguesa de WordPress (http://wp-portugal.com), é tradutor e validador do WordPress para Portugal e participa na organização de WordCamps.

I majored in Psychology but have worked with graphic design and DP since the 1980s. I’ve done editing, translation, proofreading, design and, more recently, websites with WordPress. In 2005 I created my own press, called ovni (http://ovni.org), dedicated to microfiction. Currently I work with Empower (http://empower.pt). Passionate about the flexibility and simplicity of processes when using WordPress, I give special attention to media usability, digital or analog. I’m a part of the Portuguese WordPress Community (http://wp-portugal.com), translating and validating the portuguese WordPress version and organizing WordCamps.
