I am a Computer Engineering student at ISEL with a strong interest in backend systems, software architecture, autonomous systems, and data driven environmental monitoring. I currently serve as Technical Director of the Driverless Department at ISEL Formula Student, where I support control development, systems integration, and team coordination. I am also developing Nature Protector, an academic project born from a startup idea focused on wildfire prevention, detection, and response. My background combines technical discipline, structured problem solving, and an interest in building reliable systems for real world challenges.

Technical Director of the Driverless Department
- Support the control module while supervising recruits and department members
- Promote intra team coordination to integrate driverless systems into the car architecture
- Implemented the vehicle safety module through simulation of physical components to support full logical operation and smoother future transition to real hardware
- Developing a controller based on Pure Pursuit, while exploring more adaptive control logic inspired by Model Predictive Control concepts
- Participated in Formula Student Portugal 2024 and 2025, using those events to discuss design choices, system integration, and technical direction with judges and other teams
Academic project born from a startup idea
Nature Protector explores how software, environmental sensing, and data driven analysis can support earlier wildfire awareness, better operational visibility, and more informed prevention and response decisions.
Current work includes:
- analysis of the wildfire problem using European data sources such as Copernicus related material and other supporting sources
- interviews and research to ground the concept in real needs and stakeholders
- architectural thinking around a modular solution for prevention, detection, and response
- concrete plans for future development and expansion
