About me

Biomedical Engineering student at Universidade Lusófona (expected graduation 2027), interested in rehabilitation, biomechanics, medical devices and human-machine interfaces.
Skills: biomedical instrumentation, technical drawing, CAD, CAM, Arduino, C/C++, 3D printing, simulation and prototyping. I am building up my Python and data analysis.
Founder and President of the Biomedical Engineering Student Nucleus of Universidade Lusófona (NEEBUL) and student representative on the Pedagogical Council.
Mentor and Buddy in the INOVEDU Programme.
I was an athlete for 9 years (2014–2023), representing Sporting CP and SL Benfica. It gave me resilience, discipline, focus on results and teamwork.
