Engineer & builder from Portugal 🇵🇹 Working at the intersection of systems engineering, AI, cryptography, and on-chain financial infrastructure. I build things that are fast, trustworthy, and actually used.
Building analytics engines, token mechanics, risk models and liquidity flows for real-world financial infrastructure that operates transparently on-chain.
Creating pipelines for large-scale embeddings, clustering, semantic enrichment and trend detection from high-volume social and market datasets.
Architecting systems that handle large throughput, real-time data and hybrid off-chain/on-chain computation.
Distributed systems · microservices · high-performance APIs PostgreSQL · ClickHouse · Redis · streaming & ETL pipelines Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) · observability · CI/CD automation
MPC (Shamir) · Garbled circuits (WRK17) · ElGamal Partial homomorphic encryption · threat modelling Confidential compute designs · verifiable execution flows
Ethereum (Solidity/Foundry) · Solana Token models · data indexing · hybrid compute Economic modelling · risk/valuation engines
Embeddings · semantic search · clustering RAG pipelines · LLM orchestration · trend detection Large-scale social/market data enrichment
Next.js · React · Tailwind Internal tooling, dashboards, SDKs, developer-oriented UX
- Private compute systems and cryptographic tooling
- On-chain capital, risk and analytics engines
- AI pipelines for semantic understanding & trend analysis
- High-performance backend architectures
- SDKs, internal platforms, and developer tooling
- Confidential execution in hybrid on-chain/off-chain systems
- Scalable AI clustering + semantic enrichment pipelines
- Real-time analytics for capital flows and multi-chain activity
- Applied cryptography for programmable privacy
I like challenges that sit at the edge of feasibility - where:
- systems need to be efficient,
- cryptography needs to be usable,
- AI needs to be explanatory,
- blockchains need to be practical,
- and software has to be beautifully engineered.
