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.
APIs, services, data flows, business logic, and maintainable system design. | Practical, user-facing products built with clarity, performance, and reliability in mind. | Automation, Docker environments, workflows, and tools that reduce operational friction. |
RAG-focused AI search project for retrieving contextual information about beaches in Portugal. The project explores document ingestion, semantic search, retrieval pipelines, and answer generation over domain-specific data. | Public web project with a civic-tech focus, built with PHP and Blade. |
Tool for fetching FIFA World Cup match data and sending event notifications. | Game-focused web project built with PHP, highlighting practical application development and structured backend implementation. |
| Clarity Readable code, clear architecture, explicit decisions. | Reliability Software that behaves consistently and fails predictably. | Pragmatism Right-sized solutions over unnecessary complexity. | Iteration Build, measure, improve, repeat. |
