What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build innovative, scalable, data-driven solutions where I can combine full-stack development, software architecture, and data analytics while continuing to grow technically.

I've contributed to end-to-end dynamic website development at Softideia, connecting user interfaces with reliable server-side logic while maintaining and optimizing systems. At Ideal PC Shop, I managed client-facing IT projects from needs assessment through software implementation and technology recommendations.

I'm pursuing a Master's in Data Science and Engineering at FEUP after studying Information Systems Engineering and Management. I enjoy bridging software architecture, data analytics, hardware infrastructure, and business needs to build scalable, data-driven solutions.
