What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a healthcare data analysis role where I can apply Python, R, SQL, real-world clinical insights, and AI tools to drive data-informed innovation.

I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Porto working across Health Data Science and Electronic and Computer Engineering. I've analyzed healthcare business, operational, and clinical ICU data with Python, R, SQL, and Excel, turning exploratory analysis into reporting dashboards and actionable insights.

My research spans bioinformatics, pharmaceutical formulation, antimicrobial screening, and virtual environments for animal movement. I've also performed Linux-based NGS raw-data analysis and bring hands-on laboratory experience in microbial cultivation, aseptic technique, and laboratory operations.
