18 years as a basketball player at Ovarense Basquetebol taught me more than any textbook: how to read the game, adapt under pressure, communicate within a team, and execute when it matters. That competitive mindset lives in every system I build.
MSc student at the University of Aveiro, backend-focused with fullstack range. Currently a Backend Developer & SysAdmin at UA working on Ser+, while pushing deeper into AI-augmented engineering — turning prompts into production systems and building tools that think alongside humans.
"I build systems the same way I play basketball — with vision, precision, and always one pass ahead of the problem."
A gamified digital platform for the University of Aveiro designed to drive student participation, motivation, and collaboration through extracurricular activities. My current role at UA, as Backend Developer & SysAdmin.
Final Bachelor's project: a management system for an aquaculture company, enabling data analysis and predictive forecasting to improve overall production efficiency.
Mobile marketplace for cleaning services — think Uber, but for home care. A React Native app where users can buy or sell a cleaning service, with dedicated flows for both sides.
Something with AI at its core is brewing. Exploring prompt engineering, autonomous agents, and AI-augmented dev workflows. The best play is always the next one.
LET'S BUILD IT →Developing the backend and managing the infrastructure of Ser+, a major University of Aveiro project — a gamified platform designed to shape the university experience, both now and in the future.
Frontline customer experience while completing academic projects. Developed strong people and communication skills in a fast-paced environment.
Master's degree focused on web engineering, communication systems, and applied AI in modern development workflows.
Solid foundation in software engineering, hardware systems, algorithms, databases, and computer architecture.
Programming tutor helping students navigate code and build problem-solving intuition. Teaching is the deepest form of mastery.
Volunteered at one of the world's largest tech conferences, supporting the event's operations alongside an international team.
Volunteered with a local organisation providing humanitarian support to Ukraine.
Whether it's a collaboration, an opportunity, or just a good conversation about tech and basketball — I'm open to it. Drop the ball in my court.
The University of Aveiro struggled with low student engagement in extracurricular activities. Students lacked motivation to participate in campus life beyond academics, weakening the sense of community and collaboration.
A gamified digital platform that turns participation into a game — students earn points, unlock achievements, and compete on leaderboards, transforming extracurricular activities into an engaging, competitive-yet-collaborative experience.
Successfully increased student engagement by creating a competitive yet collaborative digital environment — students now have visible motivation to participate in university life beyond the classroom.
Aquaculture production depends on many variables that change over time. Without a centralised system to analyse production data, planning relied on manual work and intuition rather than evidence.
A management system that brings the company's production data into one place, with data analysis and predictive forecasting to support planning and improve overall production efficiency.
A working management system that turns production data into forecasts, helping the company make data-driven decisions to improve production efficiency.
Finding someone to clean your home — or finding clients as a cleaner — is still a largely offline, word-of-mouth process, with no simple place where both sides can meet.
A mobile marketplace — think Uber, but for cleaning services. Users can browse and buy a cleaning service, or offer and sell their own, all from the same app.
A functional mobile app covering the core marketplace flow — from listing a service to buying one.
