Started as a fun project to repurpose an old laptop, my Linux home server quickly became a deep dive into the Linux ecosystem.

Today, it serves as the foundation for all my personal and academic projects — hosting applications, managing development environments, and storing files securely.

The next step is to create a self-hosted, version-controlled repository to organize my projects more efficiently and automate backups.

In 2025 had my first professional touch with the IT world at Openquest.

Openquest gave me the opportunity to do a summer internship and it was an enriching experience.

From JavaScript to PHP, I learned a lot about e-commerce, Drupal, and finding solutions to real-world problems in the IT industry.

In 2017 began my career at Torrecid Portugal, joining the production department. Worked in grindings and compounds, learning about the industrial process.

In 2018, moved to the Quality department, where I was responsible for raw material control.

By 2020, joined the R&D department, contributing to new product development, technical customer support, showroom renovation, and research into innovative solutions.
