Education
I have a MSc in Engineering Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, Portugal, where I specialized in Computational Physics, doing my thesis in the simulation of micromagnetic devices at INESC-ID. I then changed fields into Quantum Computing and pursued a PhD also from IST, where I worked in quantum algorithms for graph and complex network problems. You can find an overview of my publications in google scholar.
Experience
After my PhD I spent around 2.5 years working as a scientific software engineer at Pasqal in Amsterdam, developing open and closed source software for quantum computing. You can check out my Github for an overview of my open source contributions. Since then I have been working as a freelancer in the defense industry doing algorithm and software development for autonomous agents and other decision problems.
During both my time in the industry and academia I have had numerous projects touching on concepts from applied mathematics, machine learning, data analysis and artificial intelligence.
Technical Skills
So far I have mainly programmed in Python, but recently I have been using Julia a lot and getting back in touch with C++. I have experience in software development best practices, including writing documentation and tests, git workflows both with Github and Gitlab, setting up CI pipelines, and working collaboratively with issues, merge requests, sprint plannings and other processes.
