Hi, I'm Bruno Calou. I build websites. Software Engineer. Frontend developer.

About me

Hello! My name is Bruno Calou, and I love to build beautiful websites. My interest in websites came when I was very young. I had a WordPress blog with a friend, and I used to edit the HTML and CSS, create assets on Photoshop, and post content.

I didn't know how to code at this age; I started programming later in college. When I had my first Python lecture, I thought it was magical. After that, I knew I had to learn more, so I changed my course from Mechanical Engineering to Computer Engineering.

Fast-forward to today, I have worked on plenty of projects. My main focus nowadays is to build incredible user experiences.

Recently, I have been working with these technologies:

  • Next.js
  • React
  • Svelte
  • SvelteKit
  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Flutter
