About Me

👋🏼 Hello there, visitor.

I'm Bruno Belcastro Pinto – nice to meet you!

I discovered the web in the late 1990s when a friend introduced me to a fascinating chat service called IRC, which we accessed via his 56 kb/s dial up connection. I immediately fell in love with it, and from that moment I taught myself web design and development using HTML and CSS. I spent countless hours chatting online with people from around the world about mIRC scripting, Linux, web design, Photoshop, and a myriad of other topics. I am grateful to have connected with many wonderful friends online, and I even went on to start a company with some of them.

These days, I dedicate most of my time to building digital products in London. If you’re interested in collaborating or are curious about my career, please check out my LinkedIn Profile.

I enjoy a wide range of activities, including travelling, capturing photographs with various cameras (both analogue and digital), watching films, discovering new music, attending gigs, and indulging my inner coffee nerd.

I have compiled a list of places I’ve visited – and others I hope to visit.

I also enjoy reading (mostly non-fiction), which has led me to create a list of books I’ve read and recommend. If you’re after further recommendations, here’s a list of the gear and software I use.

Standing Invitation

In the spirit of Patrick’s philosophy: if you’d like to geek out about product development, cameras, technology, or anything else that piques my interest, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me an email (see the footer of this site), message me on Bluesky, or drop me a message on almost any social media platform. I’ll do my best to reply promptly. And if you’re ever in London 🇬🇧, let’s arrange to meet over a cup of coffee or tea – or even a pint.
