Lucas Pires

Based in Porto, Portugal. More than 5 years of experience as a Software Engineer, currently working at CheckSec.

My primary focus is exploring the benefits of the hypermedia-based architecture using HTMX and AlpineJS. I've been developing and migrating existing Django applications from MPAs or SPAs to the HTMX architecture for more than 3 years.

In previous roles, I have contributed to the development of several products across the education and real estate sectors, including event management software, CMS platforms, GIS integration, and other specialized solutions. Beyond my full-time work, I’ve built and deployed freelance applications currently in production for clients in the automotive and driving education industries.

I hold a MsC in Networks and Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Porto. Additionally, I have experience lecturing web development courses and have spoken at international Python and Django conferences.
