title = "About"
+++

I am a full-time Decision Scientist at
[Maersk](https://www.maersk.com/) and part-time Invited Assistant
Professor at the [University of Coimbra](https://www.uc.pt). I also
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 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 mainly working with C/C++, Rust, R, Python, GLPK,
Slurm, SQLite, Nix, Linux, and Emacs.
