Hello!
I'm João Pescada, a Senior Creative Developer based in London, UK.
I specialise in delivering digital solutions while leading and mentoring teams of creatives, designers and developers.
To get things done, I'm able to work on ideation, direction and execution of all technical elements of digital based projects.
In 2013, I became a freelancer creative / developer / designer / technologist / maker (hire me!).
Until recently, I was the Lead Creative Developer at VCCP (London), awarded Campaign's Advertising Agency of The Year in 2013 and Marketing's Advertising Agency of The Year in 2011.
And not too long ago, I was a Flash Developer at VIEW (Lisbon), awarded Digital Agency of the Year, 3 years in a row until 2010, by Clube de Criativos de Portugal.
For the last 11 years of my life, I've been working both as a designer and a developer for digital media in agency environment, for clients like BBC Advertising, Casinos de Angola, Compare The Market, Datafax, Dom Pedro Hotels, easyJet, Galp Energia, Grão Vasco wines, Hiscox, L'Oreal, Microsoft, Miguel Praia, O2 / Telefónica UK, Oon Solutions, Parkalgar, RE/MAX, SATA, Spotify, Star Alliance, TAP, Timex, Vale do Lobo and Zippy, among others.
Occasionally, I publish some thoughts on my blog. Feel free to leave your feedback. :)
In order to give back to the developers' community what I've taken for many years, I started sharing source code at my GitHub account.
