As AI Product Owner, I oversee the development of a Siemens IT internal AI Product. Responsibilities go from aiding the product development to defining strategic paths for the product and managing stakeholder expectations.

• Research institute which was the hosting body of my PhD thesis.• Project: 5G network slicing with neural network prediction for resource allocation – Design of a scheduler for network slicing at the RAN, and a mapping framework using neural networks to provide a resourceallocation to satisfy QoS targets. Developed a new event‑driven simulator for validation. – Used technologies: Python, C, Keras, OpenAirInterface, Docker – GitHub repositories: Neural network study: afonsomota/kpi-converter, OpenAirInterface implementation: afonsomota/oai-pass,Python event‑driven simulator: afonsomota/ran-slice-scheduler-simulator• Project: 5G network dataset generator – Design and implementation of an artificial dataset generator for 5G networks. – Used technologies: Python, Bash – GitHub repository: afonsomota/5gdatasetgenerator• Project: Connecting ns‑3 with Cooja ‑ NS3Cooja – Design and implementation of a connection between the network simulators ns‑3 and COOJA so that packets flow from one tothe other. – Used technologies: C++, Java, ns‑3, Cooja, Docker, Bash – GitHub repository: afonsomota/ns3cooja• Project: Communication protocol design for military and emergency use cases. – Designed and analyzed the performance of a communication protocol currently used in a solution developed by CRITICALSoftware used by the Portuguese Army, Navy and Maritime Authority – Used technologies: Python, Bash• Project: IoT network routing protocol study – Implementation of different routing protocols for IoT networks for the simulation study. Design of an asymmetrical routing protocol. – Used technologies: C, Java, JavaScript, ContikiOS, Cooja, Docker, Bash• Project: Wearable sensor suit for sleep tracking. – Designed and built a wearable sensor system for sleep tracking (Hardware+Software) that captured movement and brainwaves. – Used technologies: Arduino, JavaScript, Node.JS

• Project of a price tracker for online retail.• Used technologies: JavaScript, Node.JS, Sails.js, Docker• Designed and developed the initial web project for the online retail tracker and back-office tools.

• Publicity startup that advertised in drinking glasses and distributed them through restaurants and coffee shops.• Same start‑up team as Prane Interactive. Worked on both startup projects.• Used technologies: Visual Basic• Development of a back-office software that managed restaurants and coffee shops for the selection of publicity targets and issuedtransport bills.

• Start‑up project of an intelligent and interactive fitting room.• Used technologies: Java, RFID• Developed the system and web interface of the intelligent fitting room.

• Company that developed IoT solutions for home automation.• Used technologies: PHP, Python, Android, Bash• Some relevant projects: – System with web interface to interact with a TV through IR. – Reverse engineering BluRay data structure to send movies from the BluRay to the solution’s media center. – Contributed to the android application that interfaced with the IoT solutions.
