Here at Bocoup, we believe in keeping the world wide in world wide web, so we’re really excited to announce the first international addition to our coop: Leo Balter!

Leo will be working from his home base in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he’s been involved in open source software communities for quite some time, including as a Mozilla Community Representative. Leo’s one of the maintainers of QUnit and has also contributed substantively to internationalization efforts of Bocoupers’ projects like idiomatic.js and Learn CSS Layout.

When he’s not programming, he could be writing documentation or at a software meetup, but he’s just as likely to be longboarding, playing guitar, gaming, or relaxing with an episode of Dr. Who. A man of many talents, Leo actually was a lawyer before his passion for coding brought him back into the field.

We’re muito felizes to have Leo joining our team, and can’t think of a better person to help us take our first steps abroad. Follow him on Twitter and GitHub, and you can also check out his blog, where he writes in both Portuguese and English.
