I am a generalist computer software engineer with leadership skills, mostly interested in Linux, virtualization, and reverse engineering.
Prefer remote working (open to travel) and flat hierarchies where I can help develop early-stage startups while solving interesting and challenging problems.
Networking: TCP/IP, Linux networking internals, iptables, tcpdump, Wireshark, Kubernetes, Juju
Education
From 2014 to 2017 I studied at the University of Aveiro where I earned a BSc in Computer and Telematics Engineering with a foundation in digital logic and HDL, CPU architecture, embedded systems, various object-oriented and functional programming styles, and computer networks.
From 2017 to 2019 I studied at the University of Aveiro and University of Zagreb (through Erasmus exchange) where I studied various CPU & GPU architectures and ASIC designs, advanced ISP networks, GNU/Linux userspace programming, security. I defended a MSc thesis about effective use of pre-trained models of convolutional neural networks by means of transfer learning, having developed software for training & cross-validating hundreds of different state-of-the-art CNN models on NVIDIA GPUs.
Employment
From to I was a student researcher in Aveiro at CIDMA's Geometrix group where I developed interactive web applications for teaching mathematics to children with ASD.
From to I was a student researcher in Aveiro at IEETA's Bioinformatics group where I explored software for biomedical text processing with the goal of improving performance in chemical entity mention recognition.
Since I am a software engineer in Berlin at Bliq where I
Developed minimal AOSP distribution for efficiently driving headless automation tests of Android applications, running on top of a custom Linux kernel for Arm64 CPUs.
Reverse engineered 3rd party Android applications (notably embedded C/C++ libraries) and Google Play Services with state-of-the-art security protection against emulation and debugging.
Developed software for hooking Android processes based on Frida. Developed a network traffic sniffing engine based on iptables and proxy servers.
Became an early influential engineer at a pivot point in the company, and helped raise late seed funding by developing the product from MVP to production at 1000 concurrent users. After a successful Series A funding round, I grew and led a team of engineers responsible for a virtualization stack that scaled up to 10000 concurrent users in production.
