Since I was member of the Pedagogical Council in my last year at Técnico, I volunteered to re-build the delegate (student representative) election platform using more modern technologies. It was built using Rust and React, which should result in a longer life span and need fewer maintenance.

I started a Cybersecurity Master programme at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden 🇸🇪.

This was my first Web Assembly application, made with Yew.rs for the frontend and Axum.rs for the backend. It was a simple app to track purchases on a community fridge, keeping transaction history and balance of users, and was used for a while by ~10 people.

I joined DSI (Técnico’s IT services) through a research grant.
I was responsible for maintaining some projects directly linked to the university, such as FenixEdu.

During my time at Técnico Lisboa I’ve created a completely open source website to aggregate student’s class notes of the courses in the curriculum of the BSc in Computer Science and Engineering, resulting in a high-quality wiki of multiple computer science subjects. Currently, it achieves more than 30k monthly views across all pages and has over 50 contributors.

TreeTree2 is a non-profit that helps young children up to 12th grade to go beyond school and learn new and interesting topics! I’ve participated in 3 editions of “Informática I”, their course that is dedicated to teaching Python, as well as 1 edition of “Web I”, which teaches how the internet works, HTML/CSS and a bit of JavaScript.

I started university at Instituto Superior Técnico.

I’ve designed and coded an e-commerce website for Livraria e Papelaria Espaço, a bookstore in my area. Almost everything was custom made with Next.js and Strapi. Sysadmin work was also done to setup the web and email servers. The source code is available on GitHub.

In October 2019, I started to develop a small battleships online multiplayer game for my school class. Two months later, that game is now available to play! And it’s open source, so feel free to take a look at the source code on GitHub.

In the v1.0.0 update for Triton, my Spigot premium plugin, I introduced TWIN, a web interface to configure the plugin. It was my first consumer-facing web app made with React and other new web technologies.

During Christmas, I helped with Craftathon 2018! This time we were able to raise $1,144. Like in 2017, I mainly worked as a backend developer.

I designed a website for Portugal Ultra Triathlon, an «Adventure for Charity» and a triple ironman triathlon. Portugal Ultra Triathlon is a solidary adventure and a triple ironman. Its mission is to challenge participants’ limits and their resilience, generate social value and supporting local communities.
I was behind the entire internet presence of the event, from the website itself down to the donation system and sysadmin work (setting up emails, custom domains, etc).

After Craftathon ended, I didn’t have anything to do, so I made myself a challenge: create a fully working Minecraft server software from scratch.
The goal? Learn more about how socket connections work in Java. And after a week I got my first loaded chunk! The project is far from finished and it will probably stay that way, but it was fun to do nonetheless.

After 6 months of work, everything was ready for Craftathon 2017! I joined other developers to create an amazing charity event in Minecraft, which was able to raise $6,455.23 for Child’s Play Charity, improving the lives of children in domestic violence shelters and hospitals! I mainly worked on the website back-end, mostly on the payment system.

I developed a website for my neighbour’s company using MaterializeCSS for the front-end and PHP for the back-end. Unfortunately, it’s now offline.

I started working on an Android app called “SchoolBit” (which was then taken down due to legal reasons), that basically connected to my school system and showed the absences, summaries, grades, etc…

After closing IslandCraftGames, I decided to use some of the code to create a really seamless translation plugin and sell it on Spigot as MultiLanguagePlugin. It has since been rebranded to Triton.

I joined a development team called Clout Team, which has since been taken down. We’ve worked on various projects, mostly related to Minecraft.
While working for Clout Team, I’ve started receiving money for programming, which was a huge achievement for me!

After a few months of work, I’ve managed to create a Minecraft server with custom plugins! We also had a website with PayPal support to allow for donations, all custom made. The server was closed later that year, so I’ve decided to open source most of the code.

At this time, I started to have some interest in coding. In May 2014, I joined the Bukkit community, started learning Java and created my first Minecraft server.
