About

About

I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a BSc in Software Engineering from ISEP and five years building backend-focused web applications in .NET, Node.js and TypeScript: B2B integrations (EDI, SAP, REST/SOAP), internal tools and process automation for enterprise and consulting clients.

Since 2023 my focus has been AI-assisted engineering: MCP servers, LLM pipelines with eval harnesses, agentic coding workflows, and the self-hosted Docker infrastructure that runs them.

In parallel I've worked seasonal operations roles at festivals such as Afro Nation Portugal, NEOPOP and Sónar Lisbon, running a site office and acting as the central contact between client teams, staff and suppliers. It's where I learned to adapt under pressure, and it's the domain knowledge behind RunSheet AI, which I'm building now.

A read-only MCP server for Woodpecker CI, so a human or agent reviewer can check pipeline status and read a failing step's logs without leaving the conversation.
