02 / About Me

About Me

An engineer’s mindset. A designer’s eye.

Pixel-art portrait of Bruno Rocha

I’m a Brazilian-born software developer based in Hamilton, Canada, with more than a decade of experience building digital products.

My background in advertising and design shapes how I approach engineering: understand the people using the product, make complex information easier to navigate, and pay attention to the details that make an interface feel right.

I’ve worked across financial services, automotive marketplaces, public health, and community platforms. My strongest foundation is frontend engineering, with hands-on experience in backend development, databases, and production support.

I enjoy taking responsibility, working through technical decisions with a team, and helping other developers grow. Outside client work, I explore Three.js, 3D, and visual storytelling.
