+++
I am a full-time Decision Scientist at [Maersk](https://www.maersk.com/), and serve as the Software Development Coordinator for [ROAR-NET](https://roar-net.eu), a [COST Action](https://cost.eu) working to make randomized optimization algorithms competitive in practice. Previously, I worked as a part-time Invited Assistant Professor at the [University of Coimbra](https://www.uc.pt), as a R&D Software Engineer at [Siemens Portugal](https://www.siemens.com/pt/pt.html) and as a full stack developer at [Whitesmith](https://whitesmith.co).
I have a PhD from the University of Coimbra and University of Lille under a co-tutelle program advised by [Luís Paquete](https://eden.dei.uc.pt/~paquete), [Arnaud Liefooghe](https://sites.google.com/site/arnaudliefooghe/) and [Bilel Derbel](https://sites.google.com/site/bilelderbelpro/).
Research-wise I'm mainly interested in Multi-Objective Optimization, Combinatorial Optimization, Anytime Algorithms, Automated Algorithm Selection, Automated Algorithm Configuration, and Reproducibility. I am also moderately interested in Compilers, Distributed Computing, and High-Performance Computing (HPC).
Technology-wise I'm comfortable working with C++, C#, Rust, C, R, Python, GLPK, Slurm, SQLite, Nix, Linux, and Emacs.
