About

Hey, I'm André — a developer and photographer based in Germany, originally from Portugal and Brazil. I'm interested in building useful software, self-hosting infrastructure, and keeping things simple.

I spend a lot of time thinking about privacy, open source software, and how to own my own data. When I'm not in front of a screen, I'm usually behind a camera — mostly analog.

Currently working on:
