A Fellowship of Code & Crypto
Daniel Simão
Senior Fullstack Developer
From the Shire of Portugal, I venture through the realms of blockchain and crypto, forging digital solutions like the rings of power. 4+ years crafting in Web3.
Chapter I
The Tale of a Developer
I am a Senior Fullstack Developer from Portugal, passionate about building beautiful interactive user-friendly experiences. Like the fellowship that set out from Rivendell, I have journeyed through the digital realms for over 4 years, with the last years dedicated to the mystical world of cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Frontend is my natural habitat, but I know my way through the backend forests as well. I am a problem-solving enthusiast, an advocate of collaborative work, and always looking forward to improving myself and helping others along the way.
When not forging code, you will find me with a bodyboard in the nearest beach or, true to tradition, rewatching the Lord of the Rings trilogy once more. Some call it obsession; I call it maintaining cultural excellence.

The Crypto Realm
For four years, I have walked the paths of Web3, forging solutions in the fires of blockchain technology. One does not simply build in crypto without deep understanding.

Pioneering work with Bitcoin Ordinals and inscriptions, building tools and interfaces for the new era of Bitcoin-native digital artifacts.
