About The Work
I'm a Master's student in Software Engineering at the University of Minho, specializing in Artificial Intelligence.
Through internships, hackathons, and personal experiments, I’ve gained hands-on experience with AI and machine learning, exploring applications in natural language processing and large language models. Currently, I am researching Agentic AI systems, Multi-Agent Systems and orchestration frameworks like LangGraph and autogen as part of my Master's thesis.
Beyond academics, I contribute to the tech community. As Co-Director of the Department of Technology at CeSIUM, I help lead a team building projects for Software Engineering students and nationwide events. I also mentor young coders at CoderDojo, sharing my passion for Python and helping the next generation discover the joy of programming.
