What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that challenges me and fosters growth.

I'm a dedicated software developer with a strong foundation in backend technologies and a passion for creating efficient, scalable solutions. My journey began with a BSc in Computer Engineering from Universidade do Algarve, where I honed my technical skills and developed a keen interest in software development.

Currently, I work at Contentserv, where I have successfully developed a Node.js microservice for data synchronization and contributed to a custom query processor for dynamic querying. My previous experience includes backend development at Shiji, where I optimized PostgreSQL queries and integrated Elasticsearch, and at Omnibees, where I built RESTful web services and improved system reliability through rigorous testing. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and improvement.
