Nuno Moreira

Full-Stack Engineer & Scuba Instructor

About Me

I'm a full-stack developer/engineer with a background in civil engineering and a passion for deep-sea exploration. These days, I'm a "vibe coder"—using the latest AI tools like Perplexity, Cline, and Claude to build software faster and smarter.

Outside of tech, I'm a TDI Cave Diver and SDI Scuba Instructor. Living and working in Mexico, I’ve spent the last year guiding people through Cozumel’s reefs and the Cenote cave systems. I'm used to high-pressure environments where staying calm and clear communication are requirements, not just "soft skills."
