Graduated in Informatics Engineering (BSc.) in Porto, Portugal. My working background it's all based on Microsoft technologies, especially in Full Stack Web Development. One of the biggest interests that I have is software architecture and engineering, so I'm always up to a discussion that involves all of this thematics. In September 2016, I moved to Dublin in Rep. of Ireland and I have been living there since then. I also have a special interest in attending workshops and events relevant to my professional area.
