About Me

Software Engineering Student interested in building systems that are reliable, scalable, and efficient. Strong computer science foundation with hands-on experience in designing APIs, developing microservices, and making services scale in cloud-native architectures. Deeply curious about distributed systems, automation, and performance optimization—I thrive on solving challenges in scalability, data flow, and service interaction. I enjoy the pace of modern engineering environments, turning complexity into elegant, reliable solutions. Recent work includes developing an AI-powered dynamic pricing platform using a FastAPI microservices backend, React frontend, MongoDB Atlas, and AWS deployment. Beyond projects, I stay sharp by tackling algorithmic challenges and contributing to open-source.

Experience

Software Engineering Intern

FlyRobotics, Santarem, Portugal — June 2025 - September 2025

Migrated a legacy WordPress setup to a Django + Wagtail CMS, improving API structure, security, and long-term maintainability.
Developed and connected REST APIs to a React frontend for dynamic content rendering and frontend/backend separation.
Designed reusable Wagtail page models and collaborated with designers to streamline non-technical content editing.

Projects

OmniPrice – AI-Powered Dynamic Pricing System | FastAPI, React, MongoDB Atlas, Docker, AWS

Designed a distributed microservices architecture with 6+ services (Scraper, Pricing Engine, LLM Assistant, API Gateway), processing 1,000+ daily price comparisons with 99.95% uptime
Built an automated scraping system using Playwright, Celery, and anti-bot tactics, extracting product prices from 50+ e-commerce platforms and reducing manual tracking by 90%
Integrated Google Gemini API and contextual product rules to deliver real-time pricing recommendations, boosting profit margins by 15–25% and cutting decision-making time by 85%
Deployed a production-grade stack on AWS with Terraform and GitHub Actions CI/CD, enabling versioned infrastructure, seamless rollouts, and zero-downtime deployments

GoMetrics - Cloud-Native Monitoring tool | Go, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana

Built a system metrics microservice in Go (CPU, memory, disk, network) with concurrent collectors and REST/Prometheus endpoints.
Deployed with Docker Compose and integrated into a Prometheus + Grafana stack for real-time observability.
Implemented health/readiness probes, configurable runtime settings, and slim multi-stage Docker builds.

LogInsight – AI-Enhanced Log Processing Pipeline | FastAPI, Ray, Anthropic Claude API, Docker

Developed a backend system that integrates with Datadog and Grafana APIs to fetch real-world logs and automatically clean, normalize, and deduplicate them using Claude.
Implemented parallel ingestion and processing with Ray to handle large-scale unstructured logs, achieving up to 3× faster cleanup compared to sequential processing.
Designed modular endpoints enabling easy integration with developer tools, transforming chaotic logs into structured, queryable datasets for rapid debugging and analysis.
