hello there! 👋

I'm Marisa (she/her), a Senior Frontend Developer at DynamicYield by Mastercard, with over a decade of experience, living in the beautiful seaside town of Ericeira, Portugal.

My Path to Tech

I began my career in Sports Management, organizing events at Decathlon and promoting sports equality for girls through a non-profit. However, my growing passion for technology led me to study Computer Science at Instituto Superior Técnico.

Nowadays, I wake up every day with two things in mind: making the world a better place through technology and eating as much peanut butter as humanly possible.

Career Highlights

My first tech role was at a small software development company named log, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience, doing everything from development to UX/UI design — which was crucial in shaping my foundational skills.

Next, I joined 7egend, a digital experience agency, where I became a passionate React enthusiast. One of my key achievements was developing the FC Porto website — my first fully React-based project, marking a significant career milestone.

Joining Farfetch was another pivotal moment, allowing me to work on high-impact projects at a global scale. For nearly five years, I focused on performance and accessibility, and contributed to the design system for a global luxury fashion marketplace with millions of users.

Now, at DynamicYield by Mastercard, I'm part of a talented team driving innovation for a market-leading SaaS personalization platform.

Life Beyond Code

When I'm not writing software, building things or indulging in peanut butter, you can find me playing Padel, chasing after my two kids, or playing with our old dog Pixel.

We love traveling, exploring new places, and making memories. You can catch our adventures on my wife's Instagram, where she captures all the beautiful moments.

Thanks for visiting! Feel free to drop me a line if you'd like to chat!
