About Me

Get to know Urania Macedo, a front-end web developer focused on creating responsive, user-friendly websites and interfaces. Explore my unique skills, experience, and passion for bringing complex projects to life. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, I aim to showcase my portfolio, attract new clients and job opportunities, and present my expertise in web development and UX/UI.

What Makes Me Different

Unlike most front-end developers who primarily focus on browser-based applications, I bridge the gap between modern web interfaces and physical hardware. My specialized experience includes integrating web applications with native libraries (DLLs) and payment systems (TEF/PinPads). I don’t just build beautiful UIs; I build complex, mission-critical systems that communicate with external devices to process real-world transactions.

Simplifying Complex Workflows

I am most proud of my ability to simplify complex workflows. In my recent work integrating a commercial automation system with hardware payments (TEF), there was a massive amount of complexity happening in the background—communicating with DLLs, handling server timeouts, and managing hardware states. I’m proud that I could abstract all that chaos into a clean, responsive, and reassuring Front-End experience for the user. Making a complicated system feel simple and reliable is what drives me.

Bringing Logic to Life

I enjoy front-end development because it’s where all the logic 'comes to life'. In my experience integrating hardware and payments, the backend code is powerful but abstract. The Front-End is the moment of truth—it’s where I get to see the physical PinPad react to my code and the transaction complete successfully. I love the feeling of turning complex data and protocols into a tangible, working product that people can actually use.

"Urania has an exceptional ability to transform complex systems into user-friendly interfaces. Her expertise in front-end development and hardware integration made our project a success."
