I contribute to TOMOPLEX project, designing/embedding sensor systems, integrating components, programming, ensuring seamless communication, and collaborating for successful aerospace applications.

Part of the Sensible Car: Automated Driving project, a strategic partnership between Bosch Car Multimedia and the University of Minho, which contemplates the development of critical intelligent sensors in response to the capabilities required of the car in the context of autonomous driving. Developed Activities: -PCB Design of the circular microphones array -Implementation of HDL components for the microphones array -Preparation of technical documentation

EPIC Júnior is a non-profit organization, managed exclusively by dynamic and innovative students, which provides engineering services. Responsible for: -Finding projects, developing proposals, approaching clients, and developing projects in the area of web development and electronic systems. -Directing and managing the department with a team of 15 members, resorting to Agile methodologies to ensure its functioning. -Participating in board meetings, actions, and decisions related to the company's core.

The “Visual Classification System” project, a system with the ability to interpret the world efficiently, safely, and with less energy consumption, applying hardware acceleration and memory management strategies and following a biologically compatible approach. Responsible for: -State-of-art research on digital image processing techniques. -Implementation of such methods (Python, C and Cython) and resorting to the OpenCV, multithreading and pipelining techniques. -Preparation of technical documentation.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Julius Maximilians University offers the elite Satellite Technology group, which hosted my ERASMUS Exchange programme work under the supervision of PhD Prof. Sergio Montenegro. Responsible for: -Assembling the satellite PCB circuit board. -Developing device drivers (SPI, GPIO, and UART) for satellite systems with Rodos real-time OS, under a Gecko SoC. -Preparation of technical documentation.

Academic education in: - Embedded Systems - Micro-Nano Technologies My MSc thesis, developed at the Embedded Systems Research Group (ESRG), aimed to develop an embedded coprocessor in RISC-V for reconfigurable IoT devices, in order to provide an accelerator of cryptographic services to assist network layers that required communication security and used protocols based on the AES standard.
