Backend-focused software engineer at Urban Motion who developed APIs for a municipal mobility and parking platform.

Message

At Urban Motion, I designed and implemented backend services and REST and GraphQL APIs for a municipal mobility and parking platform using Node.js, Strapi, FastAPI, and MongoDB.

I redesigned core data models and business workflows to support evolving requirements and improve maintainability and scalability. I also integrated payment, geolocation, and courier services across operational flows.

At IEETA - University of Aveiro, I contributed to software for validating medical imaging techniques. I built React components and Flask APIs, integrated OpenCV-based image-processing workflows, and co-authored a peer-reviewed conference paper.

I'm building Planeshifter, an independent web platform for interactive 3D architectural portfolios. The project covers frontend and backend features, API integration, and cloud asset-storage workflows, with a focus on scalable file handling and browser performance.
