I'm a Programming enthusiast, always excited about building new things and learning new skills. I started programming in high school right after I discovered you can create so many things with just a computer on your hands.
I am currently working at AWS in the Managed Development Environments (MDE) team, which provides easily customizable development environments that are hosted in the cloud. These environments are repeatable and allow all users of a project or team to start contributing almost instantly. Currently, we power Amazon CodeCatalyst Dev Environments.
While I'm still trying to search for my true calling, I feel comfortable working as a fullstack engineer and become especially excited with web development and machine learning.
I study Informatics and Computation Engineering at FEUP, the best portuguese engineering college!
I enrolled on this program in 2017 and I finished on 2022 when I had the opportunity to work on my master thesis which was related to user-centered design for Explainable AI. It was a part of the European TRUSTAI project.
Currently, I am enjoying my time at AWS and learning as much as I can. But I always keep an eye for new challenges and opportunities anywhere in Europe.
In this dissertation I studied user-centered design methods that promote the explainability of AI models giving enough confidence for the user to trust or ajdust them. I followed by implementing an AI platform that used explainable models to solve regression and classification problems and enabled human-guided learning.
