I’m João Aldeano. I live in Hampshire, where I dream, think and create.

My earliest memories take me back to childhood, where I would spend hours playing every kind of sport imaginable in my parents backyard. From a young age, I also felt an unexplainable connection to music—especially love songs. While I never turned sports or music into a career, they’ve always been a part of me, quietly shaping who I am and remaining constant sources of joy in my life.

In a world full of noise and complexity, I’ve always loved the small, simple things: a cup of coffee in the morning, the smell of homemade bread, a sunny day, a good conversation, a favorite song, a glass of wine, or a good laugh. But what I treasure most are the moments with my kids—the way they run to me with open arms and hug me tight. These little things remind me what life is really about: making memories and cherishing the present.

As a software engineer, I thrive in the midst of complexity. Despite the bugs, the deadlines, the meetings, and the occasional stress, there’s beauty in a well-written piece of code, joy in solving a challenging problem, and pride in seeing something you’ve built come to life. Just as in life, even in the chaos, there is a rhythm and purpose to be found.

Today, I’m a father of three, a software engineer, a dreamer, and a creator. My goal is to build things that matter—things that leave a positive mark on my family, my friends, my community, my work, and the world.
