Luis Abreu's Resume

I'm a London-based web developer, originally from sunny Lisbon, Portugal.

I'm a largely self-taught individual who loves the web, either it is desktop or mobile. I'm always on par with the what's going on with the web and am not the kind of person to lay back and choose the path of least resistance, experimentation and discovery are essential to me.

I also pride myself in the quality of my work, I try to achieve a balance between delivery and perfection.

I'm used to working in small, tight-knitted teams, where each individual is essential and versatile. I can adapt, but there must be one constant: colleagues must have high standards, love what they do, be able to teach and learn.
