AFTER HOURS / ALWAYS CURIOUS01 / THE PERSON
Technical depth.
A wider perspective.
I’m a software engineer in Lisbon, drawn to the bigger picture: how systems fit together, how teams collaborate, and how technical decisions create real value. My interests span software architecture, security, and distributed systems.
From Java backends and streaming data to cloud-native microservices, I like making complex systems more reliable, scalable, and secure. And I enjoy bringing people and ideas together along the way.
