What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an opportunity as a Junior Software Engineer/Developer where I can contribute and continue developing my technical skills.

I built a parallel Sudoku solver in C++17 that handles boards from 9×9 to 36×36. It uses MRV, LCV, constraint propagation and multithreaded search, with performance benchmarking across thread counts.

My projects also include a Python/ANTLR4 compiler with lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis, TAC generation, optimisations and P3 Assembly code generation. I’ve developed web applications with database integration and an interactive 3D solar system using Three.js and WebGL.

From 2024 to 2026, I worked as an Administrative Assistant at Alvape, Construção e Obras Públicas, Lda., managing administrative and financial documentation and using ERP systems for accounts and invoices. I hold a BSc in Computer Engineering from Universidade Aberta and am seeking a Junior Software Engineer/Developer opportunity where I can contribute and continue developing my technical skills.
