Delivered an interactive browser-based instrument combining a custom Three.js visualization, historical datasets and an AI conversational interface. The project helped validate approaches for navigating complex temporal data and translating speculative mathematical ideas into an accessible interactive experience.

This app is a 3D explorer that attempts to map the fractal "texture" of time, bridging the ancient Chinese oracle I Ching with modern LLM integrations. Inspired by Terence McKenna’s Timewave Zero theory and software, it transforms human history into a navigable spiral of novelty and habit, allowing users to visualize the mathematical patterns that shape our reality. Through immersive Three.js visualizations and an AI-driven "Steward of the Noosphere," the project serves as a digital instrument for finding historical synchronicities and exploring the idea that we are spiraling toward a point of infinite complexity.

Engineered full-stack features and operational tooling supporting an international boutique marketplace connecting hundreds of independent retailers.

Trouva unites 400 of Europe’s best independent boutiques with hundreds of thousands of people across the world who are looking for their next unique find. There are thousands of small independent boutiques spread out there in the physical world with beautiful product selections. Being able to discover and purchase these products is notoriously difficult. As TechCrunch put it we help store owners focus on what they do best; having beautiful offline experiences and selecting the right products for their customer base.  We’ve been around for about 3 years and have been named one of the 5 fastest growing startups in the UK, and now we are expanding our product team to Lisbon. Our goal is simple: To provide independent boutiques with the technology they need to thrive online and connect them with a community of people who desire beautiful products while doing so.  Our technology platform enables small business owners handle everything from inventory management to customer support & logistics. We provide customers with access to inventory that was not available before and create a seamless shopping experience when buying from independent boutiques.  As a full stack engineer I work closely with the rest of the team to progress Trouva’s technology platform. The challenge is diverse: I work on inventory management, order processing, internal communication tools, tooling to support fellow engineers but also, and maybe most importantly, on creating an alternative shopping experience for the Trouva customer.  As a full-stack Javascript team we utilise a one-language for all approach that allows us to work together efficiently and provide great experiences. It also means that we get to play with shiny new things often which we’re quite happy about. In the end though, we are product engineers and are driven by providing the best possible experience to our customers.

Successfully launched the digital publication and virtual gallery companion to the printed anthology, funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

In collaboration with Colliding Lines and Point Positive Publishing, I undertook the task of developing the website for Chronic Poetics, an insightful anthology that sheds light on the nuances of living with chronic conditions. The website serves as a digital companion to the printed collection, offering visitors an immersive experience into the world of Chronic Poetics. Through a seamless integration of essays, poetry, images, and design, the website encapsulates the essence of the anthology, providing a platform for individuals to explore and understand the challenges and triumphs of those living with chronic conditions. One of the website's key features is the inclusion of exclusive interviews with the artists featured in the publication, offering readers a deeper insight into their creative process and personal experiences. Additionally, the website hosts supplementary pieces not found in the printed book, enriching the audience's engagement with the content. Furthermore, the website serves as an educational resource by providing access to medical information for further reading, fostering a greater understanding of chronic conditions among the audience. It's worth noting that Chronic Poetics is made possible through the generous support of public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, underscoring the significance of this project in the realm of arts and culture. Through its approach, the Chronic Poetics website aims to amplify the voices of those navigating life with chronic conditions, fostering empathy, understanding, and dialogue within our society.

Developed a novel 3D perspective visualizer prototype for FCT, FCUL, and FAUTL, exhibited at the Museum of Natural History and Science and published in two peer-reviewed papers.

As part of a research team for the NAADIR (A New Approach on Architectural Drawings Integrating computer descRiptions) project on behalf of <a href="https://www.fct.pt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FCT</a> (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia) with the joint effort of <a href="https://ciencias.ulisboa.pt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FCUL</a> and FAUTL, I developed a prototype visualizer for 3D models, implementing a new perspective paradigm for three-dimensional visualization - the Extended Perspective System - allowing the users to experience the visualization of 3D models in an innovative way. The whole project was developed using the QT Framework and C++. The project was then showcased in the Lisbon’s <a href="https://www.ulisboa.pt/en/unidade-organica/national-museum-natural-history-and-science" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Museum of Natural History and Science</a> in the <a href="https://museus.ulisboa.pt/pt-pt/exposicao-formas-e-formulas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Formas & Fórmulas</a> exhibition.

Meeple Night is a full-stack web application developed using the Next.js framework with React handling the declarative user interface, focusing entirely on professionalizing the planning and execution of board game sessions. The core infrastructure relies on seamless, secure integration with the BoardGameGeek (BGG) API, allowing users to automatically and comprehensively synchronize their entire game collection, along with personal ratings, play time statistics, and comprehensive play history. The application's value proposition is driven by two distinct, powerful systems. Firstly, Optimized Session Planning is executed by a in-house algorithm. Upon session creation and attendee confirmation, this algorithm processes critical constraints—including the confirmed player count, the host's complete game library, the user-defined time window, and the group's specific game preferences—to generate an optimized, conflict-free lineup of suggested games, maximizing efficiency and player satisfaction. Secondly, an integrated Large Language Model (LLM) acts as a Real-Time Session Assistant. This LLM is used not for planning but as an interactive, conversational resource during the actual game night, allowing players to instantly query for complex rules clarification, resolve situational edge cases quickly, or explore detailed lore and strategies, ultimately enhancing the flow and enjoyment of the gameplay experience. This dual-system architecture establishes Meeple Night as a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that effectively addresses both the logistical hurdles of planning and the in-session support needs of the board gaming community.

Delivered a fully playable 3D co-op multiplayer party game in 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2020 around the theme "Repair".

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our RIPAir Flight to god knows where. The Captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign. We are now crossing a zone of turbulence. Please return your seats and keep your seat belts fastened. If you see something wrong, please address it, as our cabin crew has all fled the aircraft. Thank you. RIPAir is an airline that takes low-cost seriously, so the principle is 'you fly yourself'. Try to keep the plane flying as long as possible by repairing the engines as they get damaged! And remember, 'FLYING IS BETTER WITH FRIENDS!’. RIPAir is a video-game that came out of Global Game Jam ’20, where our small team tried to create a small multi-player experience from the keyword “repair”. Essentially RIPAir is a video-game where two or more players can join efforts in trying to repair an airplane which is crashing, and each player needs to use their wrench to try and repair the failing engines. It was done in 48h across a weekend and we are quite proud of the end-result, as it turned out to be a funny little experiment.

I was a proud participant of the first edition of <a href="http://emergencehackathon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emergence - Digital Media Science Communication Hackathon</a>, an event that aimed to bring together scientists, techies, artists, and others, to collaboratively create digital media based projects that communicate complex concepts in scientific research. In this intensive 5 day-long event participants were immersed in a collaborative setting where they were guided through the process of exploring various digital media technologies (e.g. Film, Interactive Technologies, VR) with a focus on creating stories for both linear and experiential formats. My group developed a mixed platform for science communication, called #ciênciadátrabalho (science takes time), which aimed to help scientists grab people from the street - through the usage of street art and provocative questions - into a digital platform where they can expose their research in a novel way - through the usage of provocation and humor. We designed the whole concept to be very much like a movement, complete with manifesto and public-space interventions.

The official website for "Um Poema Errante / A Wandering Poem” was built by me and designed by Angharad Hengyu Owen and even though it didn’t use any advanced web-technology (it was purely made in HTML/CSS and a tiny bit of Javascript), it was a great opportunity to try out some interesting and bold UI/UX approaches - thought of by Angharad - which resulted, in the end, in a pretty unique website with a very singular interaction which we believe is extremely original and previously undone. The website included multiple sections and different visualisations, trying mostly to mimic the look and feel of the book, including a section listing all the bookshops that sold us, video media, interactive image galleries, and other types of information. We were as incredibly proud of it at launch as we are nowadays, and the fact that it keeps being the best channel to sell our book seems to be proof of how intriguing it is.

Delivered interactive 3D web experiences, product configurators, and virtual 3D shops with fast load times and optimized rendering.

As a developer at Baetes, I worked with modern tools and languages to ensure a great work environment. We championed a fast workflow and a dynamic pipeline and thus I took responsibility to find out what needed to be done, and was able to see the bigger picture outside my own lines of code to deliver a great product. I worked as a problem solver and produced highly optimized code since the business worked with heavy files on the browser and yet needs very short loading times. I worked with WebGL, openGL and GLSL, building shaders and customising lighting in particular - by using the three.js library. I also helped building the node.js back-end and Angular front-end for the Baetes applications.

A personal curiosity project that evolved into a longitudinal behavioral experiment, capturing high-resolution telemetry on exercise, climate, and circadian rhythms.

When we noticed our hamster, Mooey Maria Hazel, obsessively running on her wheel every night, we decided to find out just how far she was going. What started as a simple Raspberry Pi project quickly turned into a full-stack setup: we used a Hall effect sensor and magnet to track wheel rotations, added a DHT22 sensor for temperature and humidity, and wrote a Python script to send the data to a Next.js backend. The script runs as a systemd service, and the data powers a live dashboard showing Mooey’s activity. After some trial and error with enclosure design — especially since Mooey loves chewing things — we eventually built a safer, more stable system. Now we can monitor her nightly marathons in real time, blending hardware, software, and a lot of hamster love.

I developed a Simple Telegram bot that automatically adds Spotify tracks to a shared playlist whenever they are pasted in a Telegram chat. My friends and I regularly exchange music in our Telegram group chat, and we wanted a seamless way to compile all our shared tracks into one playlist. The bot utilizes the Telegram Bot API and the MTProto API to interact with Telegram, while the Spotify Web API handles interactions with Spotify. Built using Node.js, the project comprises three main components: The server  manages Spotify authentication and tokens, ensuring secure and efficient communication with the Spotify API. The bot application handles the Telegram bot's operations, monitoring the chat for new Spotify track links and adding them to the shared playlist. Finally the populate-history script  accesses the entire message history of our Telegram group chat, extracts all previously shared Spotify tracks, and adds them to the playlist. This bot streamlines the process of creating a collaborative playlist, making it easy for us to enjoy and discover new music together.

Nêspera is an amateur project that intends to be a search engine and aggregator for Portuguese language recipes. We imagine that some reasons for its usage and spread would be the fact that it can reduce waste by incentivising the usage of existing ingredients and resources and help delay more visits to the supermarket by helping to make use of existing resources at home. We also imagine that having an ingredient map can help us for example determine the carbon cost of a certain meal, and other things. It currently maps around 2000 recipes but the plan is to extend it in the near future. It is fed via a Python web-crawler, and the app itself is written in Next.js / React and uses fuse.js to power fuzzy search on the dataset.

Currently live in production as both a web application and Android app, serving real users with tiered payment options and a full divination pipeline.

Cleromancer is a modern web application built with TypeScript and Vite that digitizes the ancient Chinese divination process from the Book of Changes. Users simulate the traditional three-coin method to generate six-line hexagrams, rendered visually as full or broken lines, and receive interpretations using the Wilhelm translation—a seminal scholarly work—to provide authentic texts for both the primary hexagram and any secondary "changing line" hexagrams. The app dynamically displays elemental trigrams (Heaven, Earth, Fire, etc.), identifies the corresponding hexagram (1–64) with its classical name, and emphasizes accessibility to one of humanity’s oldest philosophical systems through a clean, responsive interface. Designed for enthusiasts of Eastern philosophy or algorithmic divination, it blends cultural preservation with modern web development practices.

Cleromancer

An algorithmic interpretation of the 3,000-year-old I Ching divination system. Features generative SVG artwork, coin casting simulations, and philosophical inquiry.
