I’m a Software Engineer based in Lisbon, Portugal, focused on building reliable web applications, backend services, APIs, and practical digital products.
I enjoy working across the full development lifecycle: understanding the problem, designing clean technical solutions, implementing maintainable systems, and improving them through iteration.
My work is especially centered around backend engineering, web development, automation, Docker-based workflows, and increasingly, AI-assisted search and retrieval systems.
