hi 👋🏼 I’m Inês, a marketeer turned full stack web developer, into creativity through technology, driven by social impact.
Welcome to my digital home.
Software engineering for (social) entrepreneurship, art, health, climate, tech, public sector and creative expression. These are some of the topics I’m exploring.
__the what where
Currently I’m an Interactive Telecommunications grad student and Research Assistant / Web Developer at NYU.
Previously, I was a software development intern at Unbabel, a YC Combinator startup and before that, I was a Marketing Officer for the European Investment Fund.
I’ve lived in Luxembourg, Montréal, Oslo, Amsterdam, Thailand, Lisbon and I’m based in New York City.
__the creative
I’m working on building my Life Resumé as much as my creative one.
Learning Journey: 2017 – 2025 is the list of all workshops and professional events I’ve been to.
I enjoy creating, whether it’s websites, interactive experiences or swimwear.
__the developer
All my work has been impact driven: as a software developer at Unbabel, helping ALS patients create their own AI persona and at NYU, developing software and data pipelines on a climate-risk research project.
One of my first building experiences was my own startup for youth employment, helping students experiment with their career path: 🏄🏻♀️ Surf the Job in the Forward Pre-Acceleration Program.

__teaching english in Thailand
Completely immersed in the Thai culture and living with a local family, I taught English classes to 150 students aged 3 to 14 years old in an Islamic and Buddhist school. Got to participate in Buddhist rituals and local festivities.
__in retail

__in entrepreneurship and no-code building

_facilitating a storytelling workshop
Traveled to Belgium to deliver a storytelling and comms workshop for 24 people in the JEF Training Days 2022, based on what I’ve learned in the creator economy and my last 2 years in EU comms.
