Hi, I’m Miguel, software and AI developer from Freamunde, Porto, Portugal.

I didn't start in tech. My background is hospitality, years of it, until a few years ago I decided to become a programmer and never looked back. Outside of code I DJ drum and bass, and I build and fly FPV drones.

What I actually enjoy is solving problems, with or without AI. I build things end to end, including the parts nobody shows in a portfolio: authentication, payments, the migration you run at midnight. Doing all of it myself is how I learned which decisions are cheap now and expensive later.

I try to stay on top of new tech and trends, and right now most of that energy goes into AI development: agents doing real work, not demos. There's a Raspberry Pi at home running one on chores I used to do by hand, and it has taught me more about what these models are genuinely good and bad at than anything I've read.

I work as an AI developer at Quadrante in Porto. Before that, I was a fullstack developer at TheGoodCode.
