Open to opportunities

Biotechnology graduate transitioning into Data Science — bridging lab-based scientific rigour with machine learning, bioinformatics, and data-driven analysis to solve real-world problems.

About

I completed my BSc in Biotechnology at the University of Aveiro, building expertise across bioinformatics, genetics, molecular biology, and statistical methods. I am now pursuing a BSc in Data Science at ISCTE.

My work sits at the intersection of biology and computation — bringing scientific precision to data pipelines and predictive models.

When I'm not studying or coding, you'll find me on a morning run, at the gym, lost in a playlist, by the sea, or planning my next trip — the Atlantic has a way of resetting everything, but so does discovering somewhere new.
