Making the web feel hand-made
FrontConf · Lisbon
Hi, I'm Castle Nerda
I like making fun, interactive things with code. I also talk & write about those things.
From the journal
writing
Long-form notes on the things I build — interface motion, browser quirks, and the small experiments that turn into real tools.

On stage
speaking
I love getting on stage to share how delightful interfaces get made — from first sketch to shipped animation.

Hands on
workshop
Small, focused sessions where we build something interactive together — no slides for hours, just code, questions, and quick wins.
- Live, build-along format
- Starter repos for every exercise
- Recordings you keep forever
Just for fun
playing
Side experiments and weird little demos. No roadmap, no pressure — just chasing whatever looks fun to build that week.
