STUDENT STORY
From TukTuk Tours to Tech Tools
How Célia went from off-road adventures to building digital products
Meet Célia Remédios
Mechanic. Maker. Always learning something new.
Célia Remédios, 40, is based in Nazaré and wears many hats—literally. By day, she conducts buggy tours and drives an e-TukTuk to the iconic Farol de S. Miguel. By passion, she’s a lifelong explorer of mechanics, design, and innovation.
A dental prosthodontist for over a decade. A motorcycle mechanic. A CNC operator. Now? She's carving her path into web development and 3D design—ready to work remotely and reshape her future.
“Thanks to Nocode Institute and my new Web Development skills I got back on track as a freelancer!”

Adaptable. Creative. Relentlessly curious.
