What I'm looking for

I’m motivated to apply my machine-learning and research software skills to computer vision and biometrics.

At Centro de Arqueologia (UNIARQ), Universidade de Lisboa, I built VORTEX, a Random Forest framework for determining the provenance of archaeological artefacts. It reached 95% accuracy on 1,778 samples and was validated on 571 artefacts.

I also maintain VORTEX and MACLAS as open-source software and datasets. At Universidad de Sevilla, I developed MACLAS for classifying archaeological minerals and co-developed PEPAdb, an open database and web application for archaeological data.

My work connects archaeological research with machine learning, network science, and reproducible software. I’m motivated to apply these skills to computer vision and biometrics.
