Hi! I'm Rui but everybody calls me Tom. I'm a self taught Web dev with a Master's degree in Psychology πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I also have a knack for design so I'm also developing my skills in Graphic Design, UI/UX and illustration.
As you can tell, I'm lost!

Not all who wander are lost! πŸ˜€ I have a similar background (and foreground? πŸ€”) :

  • went to undergrad for Cognitive Science and Psychology
  • got into computing science via the overlap with brain sciences (e.g. AI), and graduated with a degree in CogSci and CompSci
  • but I've been drawing since before any of that, and it's still one of my favorite ways to grow

I have many other interests I try to make time for, like linguistics, architecture, and typography.

I focus on development primarily because it's so satisfying, I happened to find a great set of communities to be a part of, and people pay for it enough for me to support my wanderlust and experience addiction πŸ™‚

Welcome to the fold!
