I'm a final-year Computer Science and Engineering student at NOVA School of Science and Technology, in Lisbon. I'm interested in software engineering, AI and backend development.
I'm in the final year of my BSc in Computer Science and Engineering at NOVA School of Science and Technology, and I live in Vila Franca de Xira, just outside Lisbon. What I enjoy most is taking an idea and turning it into something that actually works, whether that's a university assignment, a side project or a weekend hackathon.
Last summer I interned at NTT DATA Portugal, looking into how generative AI can speed up enterprise development. A master's in Computer Science comes next. I'm still deciding between AI/ML and software engineering, so for now I'm doing plenty of both.
Away from the laptop I play rugby, work out and volunteer when I can. More on that below.
My new addiction. Three so far. Small teams, very little sleep, and a working demo at the end of each one.
An AI-powered web app that supports people dealing with anxiety while they wait for medical test results.
36 hours at Instituto Superior Técnico, Taguspark, anonymising Portuguese medical reports while keeping their structure and meaning intact.
An AI agent that turns unstructured IT support feedback into three evidence-based product concepts.
A console app that helps teachers manage students, subjects and grades. Object-oriented design with interfaces and abstract classes, custom data structures, sorting and filtering, custom exceptions, and persistence through Java serialization.
A small REST API for a social network, written in C# on .NET with a SQL database behind it.
Command-line Blackjack with hit and stand, blackjack detection and bust conditions, multiple players and score tracking across the session. Players, cards, hands and game logic are all modelled as objects.
Picked compatible parts (CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, PSU), assembled the machine, configured BIOS/UEFI, installed Windows and drivers, and troubleshot the boot and stability issues that showed up along the way.
Fun fact: I built it back in 2022, when I was just 15 years old.
I played for Sporting CP from 2019 to 2023 and returned to the sport this year with AEFCT's Sevens team at my university. Most of what I know about teamwork, discipline and getting back up, I learned on a rugby pitch.
Fun fact: I wore Sporting green for four years while being a big Benfica fan (Partner No. 192238, since Mar 2017). Rugby is the one exception.
I love working out and running, staying fit is a fixed part of my week.
I'm open to internships and collaborative projects. Email is the fastest way to reach me.
