About Me

Smart Work Over Hard Work — Always Building Better

Bruno Pinheiro

It`s not that I`m always working — actually, I really don`t believe that heavy work is the answer. I believe in smart work: making the most of our time, learning new tools, and improving processes to build better projects and a better quality of life.

My journey into tech started back in the late `90s. In 1998, I took my first course: How to Assemble and Maintain a Computer, followed by Programming in Delphi. But honestly, my earliest memory of all is way before that — pulling motors from toy cars to build my own fans and boats.

Fast forward a bit, in 2001 I began studying Graphic Design while working with web technologies like HTML, Fireworks, Photoshop, Flash and PHP. Since then, I`ve explored multiple fields of design, with a special focus on 3D, Video, Games, Web, VR, AR, 3D printing, UX and now AI.

Outside of work, my passions are running, photography, cooking, and playing guitar. Would you believe if I said that I went from Obese to Run a Full marathon?.
