About Me

Not that my life has anything out of the ordinary, but if curiosity brought you to this website then I might as well give you some information about me. The dithered image present on this page is me. More specifically me on 18 of May of 2024. I tend to change the way I present myself quite a lot so if right now I do not look like that, don’t be surprised. The image here was transformed using the error-diffusion algorithm Floyd–Steinberg.

Academic

I attended Colégio de S.Tomás from 1st year of school to the last day of High School. During this period I took 3 Internships (two related to biology and one to engineering). Although my initially intention was to study biology, I decided to go for Geospatial/Geomatics engineering at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. Close to the end of my third year of university, I went to the Netherlands for an Internship at the ITC, where I also helped with some practical classes. After being back from Enschede, I got another Internship at a company called Think Future. Before concluding my bachelor’s, I was already certain on the idea of pursuing a master’s degree. However, I was unsure between studying Geodesy or Computer Science. Although I still maintain a fascination for the representation and measurement of the physical shape of the earth, I did choose to pursue CS in order to study Programming Languages, Compilers and Quantum Computing.

Music

Music is definitely what I can call “my hobby”. It started casually with learning an instrument for fun and evolved into a couple of bands and musical endeavours. I could easily dedicate multiple paragraphs to each project, but that would be more of an article, which this is not. For this reason, I mention here that I played the guitar on the song Nothing Concrete by Why Knot. Played the drums and sang on The Spoon Of The Gods by Pod Pop and I was the Drummer of a band called Azma. I also played guitar live with the Split Objects. It should also be mentioned that I was a student (for 4 years) on the International Drum Academy where I attended classes with Michael Lauren.
