FOUNDED IN 2026 · BRAZIL × IRELAND

Two places.
One vision.

Caju & Clover grew from a Brazilian story shaped in Ireland, and a belief that great technology should feel creative, useful and human.

THE BEGINNING

A journey that became
something worth building.

Founded in 2026, Caju & Clover brings together the places, people and ideas that shaped its founder.

Where creativity took root.

My story began in Bahia, where creativity, warmth and curiosity shaped how I see the world. Long before I worked with technology, I already wanted to understand how things worked.

As a child, computers and new devices caught my attention. I would take gadgets apart to discover what was inside, explore their components and understand how everything connected. That urge to investigate was the beginning of a passion which, over time, I turned into practical knowledge, education and a profession.

I bring from those roots a love of experimenting, finding a way forward and putting personality into what I do. For me, creativity becomes valuable when it helps someone: by simplifying a task, making an idea clearer or creating an experience people enjoy using.

The caju represents those roots. It reminds me that I can build a life somewhere else without leaving behind what shaped me. At Caju & Clover, that influence shows in our care for people, the freedom to imagine and the attention we give to each business's identity.

Where new horizons opened.

I moved to Ireland at 20, knowing no one, to start a new chapter. More than a decade later, Dublin is home, and that journey brought my passion for technology together with people-centred leadership.

Building that life took adaptability and perseverance. Between 2019 and 2023, I completed my BSc (Hons) in Computing at the National College of Ireland, achieving the highest honours classification while working two jobs. Balancing those responsibilities taught me how to prioritise, respect the learning process and keep moving forward even when the road felt long.

I came away with more than a degree. I developed a combination of technical and human skills: programming, problem-solving, communication and the ability to work with different perspectives. Leading teams taught me that listening, explaining things clearly and building trust are essential parts of any solution.

The clover represents that growth and the place where curiosity became a professional direction. Today I bring that experience to Caju & Clover: understanding the people behind each project and building solutions that are beautiful, useful and make sense in everyday life.

2026
A NEW CHAPTER

And Caju & Clover was born.

I founded the studio to bring both worlds together: Brazilian creativity, Irish perspective and technology that helps real businesses move forward.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME

A bit of Brazilian flavour
And Irish good luck.

Caju is the Portuguese word for cashew, a colourful fruit that represents Brazilian roots, imagination and warmth. Clover reflects Ireland, the place where a second chapter of this story unfolded.

Caju & Clover brings those two worlds together: a bit of Brazilian flavour and Irish good luck, backed by the creativity and technical care to build things that work.

HOW TO SAY ITCaju & Cloverkah-ZHOO & KLOH-verIn Portuguese, the “j” in caju sounds like the “s” in “measure”.
