About Diogo

A sleek, minimalist wooden desk holds an open ultrawide monitor displaying a clean dashboard of investment charts on one side and neatly formatted code on the other. A dark metal laptop rests beside a graphite notebook with a mechanical pencil precisely aligned on top. The desk sits near a large window overlooking a soft-focus modern cityscape. Cool daylight pours in, creating crisp reflections on the monitor and subtle shadows along the grain of the wood. Photographic realism, shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field, emphasizes the workspace as focused and professional, blending finance and software in a calm, high-level atmosphere that suits a thoughtful personal site about investing and technology.
A large, high-resolution monitor displays a minimalist line chart of a long-term investment portfolio, with smooth, upward-trending lines in muted blues and greens against a clean white background. The monitor rests on a light oak desk beside a compact, dark grey desktop computer and a small, open notebook filled with sketched system diagrams. In the background, a whiteboard on the wall shows faint, out-of-focus architecture diagrams and arrows. Neutral daylight from the side washes the scene in soft, even light, with subtle shadows giving depth. Photographic realism, shot from a three-quarter angle with medium depth of field, creates a calm, strategic atmosphere focused on high-level thinking and structured decision-making.

Milestones in Investing and Code

I started as an electrical engineer, moved into software for the finance industry, and built my own investment process along the way. These are the decisions, books, and moments that shaped how I think about markets and code.

A close-up of a dark, brushed-metal mechanical keyboard with subtle white backlighting, positioned on a matte black desk next to a slim, silver laptop running clean, readable code. Beside them lies a neatly stacked set of printed pages featuring structured investment notes and a tidy column of numbers highlighted in pale blue. Soft, diffused afternoon light from an unseen window creates gentle gradients across the metal surfaces and a faint reflection on the laptop trackpad. Photographic realism, captured from a slightly elevated angle with selective focus on the keys, conveys a disciplined, analytical mood, merging the precision of programming with the structure of long-term investing in a modern, professional aesthetic.
