About Me

Engineer, builder, and music enthusiast

Background

Since I was very young, I've had a great interest in software engineering and the transformative power of technology in our world. Growing up, I was always the kid taking things apart to see how they worked, and eventually, I started building my own projects and experimenting with computers.

I hold a BSc in Informatics and Computing Engineering from FEUP and am currently pursuing an MSc in the same field, where I am further developing my skills and knowledge. My academic journey has been driven by a passion for understanding complex systems and building solutions that make a real impact.

Technical Skills

Backend Systems

Building scalable, efficient server-side applications and APIs with a focus on performance and reliability.

DevOps

Automating deployment pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and infrastructure management for seamless development cycles.

Cloud Architecture

Designing and implementing cloud-native solutions with a focus on scalability, security, and cost-efficiency.

Networking

Understanding network protocols, architecture, and security to build resilient distributed systems.

Beyond Code

Music

I have a classical piano course and currently play guitar. I'm a big fan of metal music and love exploring different genres and techniques.

Tennis

I'm an avid tennis player and enjoy the combination of physical activity and strategy the sport demands. It's a great way to stay active and competitive.

Building Things

I've always loved building cool stuff, whether it's software projects, hardware experiments, or just tinkering with technology to see what's possible.

Gaming

Whether it's immersing myself in a game with a good story or enjoying the challenge of competitive titles, I find gaming is a great way to unwind and appreciate interactive storytelling. My current favorite is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

My Approach

I believe in building resilient and efficient systems that solve real problems. My passion lies in understanding how things work at a fundamental level and using that knowledge to create solutions that are both elegant and practical. Whether it's optimizing a backend service, designing a cloud architecture, or debugging a complex network issue, I approach every challenge with curiosity and determination.
