PhD in Computer Science @ DCC, FCUP & HASLab, INESC TEC.
Welcome to my personal website! I’m a researcher, and a recent PhD from the University of Porto, where I do research on malware network traffic detection using machine learning.
I enjoy building stuff, but also tinkering and learning about things that surround us.
I also like hacking as in the hacker culture or as defined in RFC 1392 — the non-illegal kind of hacking, that you find at Hackathons or Repair Cafés.
For now, this website is mostly a big placeholder that I plan to fill with information, tutorials, projects and random thoughts, in a blog format. I hope you enjoy it!
