PERSONAL STATEMENT
I'm hard working and despite my education I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I'm a
tinkerer, and like to know how everything works, from cars, bikes, to electronic circuits.
My short to medium term objectives include taking the IELTS Academic Test or the
Cambridge English Proficiency exam, learning to speak German, attaining the status of
University Athlete in swimming, finishing my Master's and maybe moving to another
country to find gainful, steady employment.

network simulator and hands on experience in FEUP's Netlab.
The final grade is the average of the grades obatined in each of Netacad's final exams (four in total,
one for each CCNA module).
Completed with final grade of 17 out of 20.
09/2014–01/2015
Project for "Engineering Systems - Telecommunications, Electronics
and Computers"
Development of a Routing protocol for the Engineering Systems - Telecommunications, Electronics
and Computers course, in partnership with Fraunhofer Portugal. The final purpose of this routing
protocol was its integration with a complete solution aimed at helping firefighters in their profession.
The system consisted of an Android mobile phone, paired with a small device developed in-house that
comunicated with the phone via BLE and with other devices via an 800MHz radio link, also containing
several sensors.
The phone's purpose was to send several status messages to the backend about the firefighter
through a GSM packet link. If the phone had no GSM signal (as was often the case) it would send the
packet via the radio interface to other mobile phones that could, or could not, have a GSM link
themselves to the backend.
The routing protocol assured that these messages were delivered as reliably and as fast as possible.
It was written in java, and based of a modified version of the OLSR protocol.
The final prototype demonstrations were deemed successful.
