Frontend developer
building for the web.
Frontend Web Developer based in Dublin. Fourteen years across the design and development of websites — currently building React and Next.js interfaces at Together Digital, with engineering-level ownership over performance, components, and accessibility. Designer by training, developer by trade.
Designer by training, developer by trade.
I've spent the last fourteen years moving between the design and the build of the web. These days I'm a Frontend Web Developer at Together Digital in Dublin, working primarily in React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. I joined as a junior and grew into a role with engineering-level ownership — making the calls that matter for the work: performance, component architecture, reusable patterns, and accessibility.
Before Dublin, I worked across UX, UI, and front-end roles in Brazil and Ireland. The design background still shapes how I work — I care about typography, hierarchy, responsiveness, and the small details that separate a website that works from one that feels considered.

Dublin, Ireland
Frontend Web Developer
Together Digital
Joined as a junior developer and grew into a role with engineering-level ownership over how the frontend gets built. Work primarily in React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, building responsive, production user interfaces for client projects. Over five years I've moved from implementing designs to shaping the decisions behind them — performance, component architecture, reusable patterns, and accessibility — with REST API integration work across draft and production environments. The designer's eye still shapes every build.

What people say.
I've been working with Madson over the last three years and he's one of the professionals I'd recommend. Madson has a good analytical skill with his approaches and design methodologies. We worked together on many CRO projects and with his skills, we achieved good results.
Madson has great skills in design and web design. I learnt many things about User Interface and User Experience with him — he likes to share his knowledge and is good at communication. He delivered impressive interfaces on the web systems we worked on together. He's a great professional.
