the barn
I reused 4 old computers to run my farm of agents. Sessions get load-balanced across them, so more agents work in parallel, and they keep going when my laptop is off.

AI engineer shipping GenAI products to production in a large European utility: retrieval-augmented assistants with page-level citations used across the group's legal, compliance and crisis teams, multi-agent systems, data integrations and cloud-cost agents on Azure. Founder and engineer of a B2C SaaS with 200+ active users across 5 markets. Works through a fleet of coding agents, with planning, isolation and adversarial verification so every change is reviewed before it ships. MSc in Computer Science (AI & Cybersecurity), former member of Portugal's #1 CTF team.

2 Claude Code subs at $200 a month. I shovel the tokens in, the engine ships the code.
trained by hand
My whole education happened before ChatGPT. Docs, textbooks, Stack Overflow and a lot of segfaults. That's why I can tell when an agent is bluffing.

7 products in production, all on Azure. Internal names withheld.

Software & AI Engineer · EDP, Tech Accelerators
GenAI and data engineering for one of Europe's largest utilities. I take products from discovery with the business through to production on Azure.
- + Shipped 7 GenAI products to production, including 3 retrieval-augmented assistants used across the group's legal, compliance and crisis-management teams, with answers cited to the page.
- + Built the backend for a solar operations copilot: one API over three vendor monitoring portals, with asset IDs resolved through the data warehouse.
- + Designed an agent swarm that found €50,000+ a year in cloud savings in ~1% of the estate (a 7-figure projection at full scale), and now the sole developer on an agent that catches runaway cloud spend.
- + Led security hardening, LLM evaluation panels and Terraform infrastructure for the products above.
