About Me

The story behind the work

Joao Franca profile photo

From Corporate PR to Building Products with AI

I spent 8+ years in communications — managing PR for Samsung at MSL Group, producing 100+ publications for BH Airport, winning an Aberje Award for Localiza's D&I programme. I know how to tell stories that move people.

Then I moved to Ireland and discovered something: with AI tools, I could build the products I used to only market. I shipped Dine With Me (a social dining platform on iOS and Android with Stripe payments and real-time chat) and Media Training AI (an AI-powered public speaking coach). No programming degree needed — just AI, no-code tools, and relentless problem-solving.

With a Bachelor's in Journalism and an MBA in Business Management & Marketing, I'm the rare person who can build a product AND sell it. I don't just plan campaigns — I build the tools to run them.
