I’m a Computer Science student at the University of Minho passionate about turning ideas into real, usable projects.
My current interests revolve around building systems that blend blockchain, AI, and full-stack development. I enjoy exploring how these areas intersect and testing ideas through hackathons and side projects.
I’m currently building Tickets on Solana — a platform for verified ticket sales and fraud prevention, with optional secure on-chain resales. I’m also experimenting with Wardrobe AI, an RFID-powered wardrobe that uses AI to generate outfit suggestions.
How I work. I focus on rapid prototyping and iteration, always aiming for practical solutions that work in real contexts.
What drives me. Exploring Solana and blockchain protocols, building AI/ML applications, and testing ideas under pressure in hackathons.
