Building cool
things on the
internet.

Hi, my name is Allan Fernandes.
I'm a software engineer who builds (and occasionally designs) accessible, human-centred things for the web.

Currently working at Printerpix, where millions of people turn their favourite photos into something they can actually hold.

When I'm not online you'll find me playing football, running, or writing about what I break and fix..
