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 at UA, 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. Architected and built as backend lead.
Final Bachelor's capstone: full-stack management system for an aquaculture company, combining a Django backend, real-time monitoring dashboards, and alert systems for critical parameters.
Mobile marketplace for cleaning services — think Uber, but for home care. Cross-platform React Native app with real-time tracking, booking flows, and dual-role UX for buyers and providers.
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 →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 companies operate complex environments where water quality, fish health, and operational efficiency must all be monitored simultaneously — but most relied on fragmented, manual processes with no centralised visibility or alerting.
A full-stack management system with a Django backend that aggregates sensor data, surfaces real-time dashboards, and fires alerts when critical parameters go out of range — giving operators a single pane of glass over their entire operation.
Delivered a production-grade management tool that enabled data-driven decision making — operators gained real-time visibility into parameters that previously required manual checks, reducing response time to critical events.
Finding reliable, vetted cleaning professionals with transparent pricing was a frustrating, offline process — no easy way to browse, book, or track a service provider, and no trust signals for either side of the transaction.
A cross-platform mobile marketplace — think Uber, but for home care. Buyers browse and instantly book vetted professionals; providers manage their availability and earn reviews. Built with React Native for seamless iOS and Android parity.
Delivered a fully functional prototype demonstrating the viability of an on-demand home services marketplace — complete booking lifecycle, real-time tracking, and a polished dual-role experience on both platforms.
