I’m a software engineer based in Lisbon with a strong background in building scalable, real-world products from the ground up. I’ve worked as a founding engineer at an early-stage startup, where I built the platform from scratch, helped acquire over 1,000 early users, and supported the company through its first €150K+ funding round. I’ve also been part of core engineering teams at established companies, developing backend systems that handle millions of requests per month, public APIs used by hundreds of customers, and production-grade integrations with major platforms. What sets me apart is my mix of startup execution, deep technical skills, and AI expertise. I’m comfortable owning complex systems end-to-end—from architecture and APIs to automation and deployment—while always keeping business goals and user experience in mind. With experience across AI research, backend engineering, teaching, and even smart contract auditing, I bring a broad, practical perspective to every project. I care about clean, reliable solutions, clear communication, and delivering work that actually moves the needle.…I’m a software engineer based in Lisbon with a strong background in building scalable, real-world products from the ground up.
