Associate Software Developer · Lisbon, Portugal
I build software with a bias toward systems that need to be fast, dependable, and understandable.
I work at Sky on the Apple TV ecosystem. I am also finishing an M.Sc. in Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico and doing research with INESC-ID on scalable exploration and visualization of large phylogenetic trees and networks.
Developing and maintaining features for Sky's Apple TV application using Swift and SwiftUI, while contributing to test automation and CI/CD workflows in a large-scale production streaming platform.
Researching scalable exploration and visualization of large phylogenetic structures. Developing PhyloLens and contributing to PhyloLib, with work spanning graph visualization, algorithms, level of detail, and performance.
Worked on the Apple TV ecosystem with Swift and contributed to Jenkins and Groovy CI/CD pipelines before later returning to Sky full-time.
Developed a Python desktop application for acquiring and managing data from a material tension-testing machine.
Interactive exploration of large phylogenetic trees and graphs. The system combines hierarchical level of detail, semantic zoom, viewport-based data selection, server-side graph processing, and scalable layouts to keep datasets with hundreds of thousands of profiles practical to explore.

An identity-bound academic credential registry using OnchainID and ERC-3643, with on-chain issuer accreditation, updatable and revocable credentials, and wallet-free third-party verification.
I am particularly interested in distributed systems, backend engineering, algorithms, performance, developer tooling, and graph-heavy problems. I prefer simple systems, explicit trade-offs, and code that can be understood without archaeology.
Outside computers, I box, skimboard, run, and spend too much time around motorcycles and old cars.
