About

I’m Lyan Porto, a multilingual educator, musician/audio engineer, and programmer based in Belgium. I hold Brazilian and Italian citizenships and bring over a decade of experience in teaching English, assisting in early-years education, and freelance translation, alongside a solid foundation in software development. I’m proactive, thorough, and enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to solve problems and create meaningful solutions.

I recently obtained my PhD in Biomedical Sciences, after completing a Master’s in Linguistics and a Bachelor’s in Languages. I love combining language skills with technology, and I’m always eager to learn and apply new methods across education, software, and artistic projects.
