🎓 Education

I’m a MSc student of Computer Science and Engineering at Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (Porto, Portugal). I’ve been passionate about technology for as long as I can remember, and I love programming and learning new things.

💻 Interests in IT

My main interests in IT are:

  • Distributed Systems
  • Networking
  • Cybersecurity & Cryptography 🔒
  • Concurrent Programming & Formal Methods

Yes, I know… a lot; however, that’s because I love learning new things. Whenever I don’t like something new, I always give it another go because I believe that having a broad knowledge base is what makes a good engineer.

🛠️ Programming Languages

The programming languages I am the most comfortable with are:

  • Java
  • C/C++
  • Typescript
  • Python

I use them either for scripting and/or almost on a daily basis. I also have some experience in Rust, Erlang and Go.

I could start enumerating a bunch of frameworks and other topics in here, but I think it’s better to keep it on LinkedIn.

🤝 Professional Involvement

I am part of the Management Team of the CTF Team of the University of Porto, where my role is to deal with system failures and automate things. I’m also a member of NIAEFEUP where I work on some projects, help organize events, and mostly have many good times!

🖥️ Personal Preferences

I use Arch Linux (btw) as my daily driver. You can check my configuration here.

🌟 Hobbies and Interests

Outside of IT, I have various interests and hobbies:

  • I do sports frequently (running, swimming, going to the gym, etc.) 🏃‍♂️
  • I read a lot (mostly physical books, even though I’m trying to convert to digital) 📚
  • I play drums occasionally. 🥁
  • Recently, I’ve been starting to get into photography. 📸
