What Drives Me

I’m passionate about projects with social and environmental impact and my journey in software engineering has been fueled by my desire to make a difference. At Jungle AI, this means helping reduce downtime and increase profitability in renewables, contributing to a more sustainable future. Through Arquimedia, I worked to create an open-source, free tool to help Portuguese students prepare for their national exams.

I’m also a big fan of open-source software, and I try to open my personal projects and contribute to others whenever I can.
