About Me

<!-- Stack Badges -->

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by humanity's remarkable ability to start from basic principles and arrive at technologies that once seemed like magic. That sense of wonder never left me, it simply found its place in computing.

• Developer focused on low-level programming and embedded electronics.
• 42 Porto Cadet
• Co-Founder of MagraThea — Entrepreneurship & Innovation Club at 42 Portugal
• Mechanical Engineering (2019–2023) — FEUP
