Hello! I am a Doctoral student in Computer Engineering with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, currently affiliated with Hunan University in the People’s Republic of China, though my studies have been suspended since 2020 due to the pandemic. I enjoy turning complex problems into practical software solutions and I have hands-on experience building backend and frontend systems using Java, JavaScript/React, Python, and databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. In addition to research, I have taught and mentored students in Computer Networks, AI, and Databases, led undergraduate teams, and contributed to university management tasks. I have worked as a software engineer and IT consultant across Portugal and internationally (including remote projects in the Netherlands). I am collaborative, organized, and comfortable with Agile development, API design, and end-to-end software life cycles.
