Diogo Freire

Developer

Hailing from Brazil, Diogo landed in Aotearoa in 2008. The kiwi lifestyle soon inspired him to hang around for a while, which turned out to be great news for Springload.

With fancy Brazilian degrees in Telecommunications Engineering and Computer Programming along with a wealth of experience in PHP development, Diogo is a hot commodity at Springload HQ. 

For most people that would be enough, but not Diogo. He also has an insatiable appetite for new challenges – most recently that of mobile application development – and a deep flowing passion for music. This saw Diogo studying Jazz part time at the New Zealand School of Music in 2010 with a focus on his beloved drums. His musical talents don’t stop there with learning to play the Ukulele and the Viola Caipira (Portuguese for ‘Hillbilly Guitar’). The kid can code AND play sweet music. Can you believe this guy?

 

Diogo’s signature move

The Brazilian Body Roll

First reported by Portuguese missionaries, this move was forbidden for almost five hundred years. The hacky is made to trace a sensual path from the bosom to the foot without losing contact with the hacker’s body.
