CFO at In-Nova · previously Sky and Clearis · Lisbon

About Me

I'm a software engineer and MSc student in Computer Science and Engineering at NOVA School of Science and Technology in Lisbon, majoring in Programming Languages and Software Systems with a minor in Systems and Software Security.

I like understanding how systems work under the hood and building software that is reliable, secure, and efficient. Recently that has meant building multi-agent AI tooling at Sky, and shipping web and mobile products at In-Nova, where I went from developer to leading a 30-person Projects Department and now serve as CFO.

Outside of tech, I enjoy movies, music, gaming, and going to the gym.
