Bio

I started my university years studying Electrical Engineering at Universidade de Coimbra, where I’ve learned the skill of programming thinking. From then on, I love learning new programming languages and programming concepts.

In my late years of Electrical Engineering I started studying and became a Web Developer: from raw web programming to Joomla and Drupal CMS's maintenance and plugins adaptation; later I got acquainted with WordPress and nowadays I’m asked to work with it regularly

Along the years I studied at the university I started singing; first Fado (a students folk genre), then went studying singing to the music conservatoire, later to the university, Universidade de Aveiro, and nowadays I share my programming life with professional singing. I sing in a professional choir in Porto, at Casa da Música, and in small choirs when I’m hired to sing with them; I also sing opera and concerts as a soloist whenever I get the opportunity to do so.

From my early music conservatoire years, I started enjoying translating poems to Portuguese and nowadays I've been translating, besides technical and non-technical texts (PT<->EN), full music pieces, such as "La Serva Padrona", "The Wizard of Oz" (fully singable in Portuguese), "Bastien und Bastienne".

I have several passions that I've started digging already but didn't really get any place of excellence yet: Network & Security (White Hat Hacking and Penetration Testing), Web Scraping, Growth Hacking... But I'll get there soon!
