Hi there! 🌞

I’m Pedro, I'm a former web developer turned full time R/Shiny developer in 2018.

👥 After my switch to Shiny I immediately fell in love with R, Shiny and its open source mentality and community, and have been trying to do my part to share what I know and do with everyone!

📦 Over the last years I released a few successful packages on CRAN, as well as fully open source dashboards to showcase what you can do with Shiny.

🌐 As a former Web developer I believe there is much I can bring from my "past live" into the Shiny package ecosystem, so I am constantly experimenting with different ideas and concepts about pushing the limits of Shiny in traditional (and nontraditional) ways.

📢 You might also have seen me in conferences or other R events talking and presenting about R/Shiny. I truly believe that sharing what you do with the community is important, and try when I can to give back as much as possible.

💸 Unfortunately, open source work is still something that doesn't pay the bills, so there is a hard cap on what I can get done in my free time, leading often to shelving ideas or, specially in the case of packages, very long times between idea and release.

🎉 This is where YOU can help! With your support, I can shift more and more of my focus into open source as a part time activity instead of a after hours hobby. Maybe one day I can become a full time open source content creator, but until then any support helps! 🙏
