Mateus Proto: From IT support to 12,000 hours of Bubble development

Mateus was working in IT infrastructure when an idea for an IT support marketplace app reignited a long-held dream of working as an app developer. When he discovered Bubble, “it was love at first sight.” While his startup idea didn’t work out, Mateus decided to leave IT behind and embrace Bubble development full time. Today, he’s clocked over 12,000 hours of Bubble development across 50 projects as well as earned a Silver agency partner tier on Bubble and a Top Rated Plus status on Upwork. From building legal mediation software to developing a tool to check business and environment sterilization, Mateus has come a long way from his days working a standard 9–5. 

“Contrary to what many believe, customers don't go [to marketplaces] looking for a cheap price, he says. “They go because they want to find the best professionals in the world to make their dreams come true.”
