I am a Final-year Computer Science student at ISEL, specializing in robust backend architectures, REST APIs, and system design. My core expertise lies in Kotlin and modern JVM ecosystems, alongside deep experience with Linux, Docker, and relational databases.
Beyond the classroom, I am deeply passionate about infrastructure and self-hosting. I maintain a home laboratory where I experiment with server orchestration, networking automation, and containerized deployments. This hands-on approach bridging software engineering and systems administration allows me to write more resilient, production-aware code.
I am actively seeking a software engineering role where I can tackle complex backend challenges, continuously improve code quality, and contribute to scalable system designs.
