ABOUT ME

Passionate and deeply focused, I thrive in the ever-evolving world of technology. With a degree in Computer and Telematics Engineering from the University of Aveiro, I've expanded my horizons across various tech domains.

In 2022, I contributed to the FireTech project through an Undergraduate Student Research Scholarship, focusing on microcontroller network communication for wildfire detection. This experience solidified my commitment to leveraging technology for societal good.

Currently pursuing a Master's in Cybersecurity, I've secured a Graduate Research Scholarship in Cloud Native SDN controller development. Beyond academia, I channel my creativity into developing innovative systems and applications, drawing inspiration from real-world experiences as a volunteer firefighter.

PROJECTS

P4Sentry - Software Defined Networks monitoring system

OCT 2022 - PRESENT GITHUB REPOSITORY

Build with P4, Grafana, Prometheus, Redis, MongoDB, and React.
The goal was to develop a monitoring system capable of consulting network devices themselves and retrieving metrics specified by the user. This system needed to possess a dashboard for ease of configuration and metric visualization.
Final grade: 19/20

SensorMesh - P2P distributed database feeder using IPFS

FEB 2023 - PRESENT GITHUB REPOSITORY

Build with OrbitDB, IPFS, and Go.
SensorMesh allows you to direct output from serial devices and internal services into a distributed peer-to-peer database on IPFS. SensorMesh is built as a layer of abstraction and service compatibility for OrbitDB. It is built in Go and uses the go-orbit-db module developed by the folks at Berty.

E-CHAP Authentication Mechanism - Source code development in Python

JAN 2022 - FEB 2022 GITHUB REPOSITORY

College project for the subject of Security of Organization.
In this project, we were asked to deliver an application that combines the advantageous characteristics of both a password manager as well as provides an E-CHAP authentication protocol that can communicate with any service that allows it.
Final grade: 20/20

Deterministic RSA key generation - Deterministic RSA key generation. Implementation of a pseudo-random number generator and RSA key generator

NOV 2023 - JAN 2024 GITHUB REPOSITORY

College project for the subject of Applied Cryptography.
This project required the student to develop a pseudo-random number generator, provided a set of parameters. This can then be used to provide pseudo-random value to an RSA key generator, also created by the user.
Final grade: 18/20

Enhanced DES - Implementation of a DES variant known as E-DES

OCT 2023 - NOV 2023 GITHUB REPOSITORY

College project for the subject of Applied Cryptography.
This project intends to take the underlying technologies of DES, like S-Boxes, where a complex, but deterministic method of shuffling them and encrypting data with these is possible by simply providing a password.
Final grade: 17/20

MusicTrackSlicer - Distributed music processing using multiple workers communicating via MQTT.

MAY 2023 - JUN 2023 GITHUB REPOSITORY

College project for the subject of Distributed Systems.
A central server exposes a client GUI where a user can upload a music file, the server then splits the audio into segments of smaller size and publishes them to the MQTT channel. The workers subscribed to the channel, picked up the tracks, sliced them into the different instrument tracks and returned them to the server. The server then re-assembles the multiple slices and thus returns to the user the same music, but each instrument is now in an individual file.
Final grade: 18.5/20
