About

I am a Software Engineer with an MSc degree from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. Throughout the last few years I had the opportunity to develop my skills beyond my course, serving as a class assistant, managing real-world projects in the students' branch and interning in companies that taught me a lot about software and people. Currently, I focus on developing software at scale in the industry while also enjoying the opportunity to lecture at my alma mater.
