What I do

Frontend engineering

Angular, Ionic, PrimeNG, AgGrid, GoJS: production-grade frontends for web and mobile. I've built enterprise dashboards, consumer apps, and everything between.

AI-assisted development

Claude Code workflows and agentic pipelines that actually move the needle. Not autocomplete. Structured processes that replace entire categories of manual work.

Dev admin automation

Jira integrations, automated PR workflows, standup pipelines. The invisible infrastructure that keeps engineering teams running without the overhead.

Hardware integration

Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, barcode scanners, and label printers connected to web and mobile apps. Device APIs wired into Angular and Ionic for inventory, logistics, and field operations.

About

Nuno Freire

I ask the right questions before writing a line of code. I deliver on time without grinding. I use AI tools seriously, not as autocomplete, but as part of a structured workflow.

Based in Lisbon, with nearly 20 years of experience building web and mobile applications, I work remotely with product teams that need someone who can own the frontend end-to-end. Full-stack background in C# .NET, with a focus on Angular and Ionic for the past several years. I care about shipping software that actually works, on time and without drama.

What others say

"It was a great pleasure to be able to work with Nuno on a software project. Nuno was thorough, detailed, quick to understand what was asked, fast at reading, understanding, and improving on other people's code, and great at producing high-quality code in short periods of time. Simply put, he is one of the best software engineers I have had the pleasure to work with."

Bai Pham Senior Software Engineer, Proximex

Cian Crosse Managing Director, Harvey Nash
