Summary
Henrique Spotorno is a frontend developer and product-focused technologist with eight years of experience turning ideas into polished, user-centered web products. He has led engineering and product efforts as CTO and co-founder across multiple recipe and ad‑tech platforms (Happy Plates, Happycart, ichkoche) and now operates as a freelance frontend developer from Vienna. Comfortable across product, UX and front-end engineering, he combines hands‑on React development with product management instincts honed from founding agencies and bootstrapped indie products. His background in economics and data (University of Toronto) informs a data-driven approach to feature prioritization and user behavior analysis. Henrique enjoys experimenting with new techniques and launching small, testable products—Vocalmatic and Insights Analytics are examples of his indie-hacker track record. That mix of entrepreneurial grit, cross-disciplinary experience, and a designer’s attention to UX lets him move projects quickly from concept to first paying customers.
