Alex’s work, centered on the belief that programming is an exploratory practice, maintains a sustained focus on the creative end-result. Born in Covilhã, Portugal in 1993, Alex is a software developer and creative programmer. His foundation was built at IPCB/ESART, Castelo Branco, where he graduated in electronic music and music production in 2016, which was the jumping-off point for his autodidactic education and subsequent work.

While Alex views programming as an indispensable tool for realizing concepts, his true drive lies in conceptualizing unique and disruptive audio devices and delving into unfamiliar subjects to implement them.

Alex's process is highly organic and iterative. Ideas are first sketched and prototyped, followed by compulsive fine-tuning and intuitive decision-making, ideas naturally progress toward a concise algorithm. For Alex, UI/UX is an extension of the audio process; he is particularly interested in creating a meaningful synesthetic interaction between sound and visuals. His core areas of work include audio-centered software development, artistic installations, and music production. His programming, composition, and sound design feed into each other to ensure his tools are truly useful and inspiring for other artists.
