My parents often claim they knew I’d follow an engineering path because I loved taking everything apart and putting it back together when I was a kid. Now I’m taking a master's degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico. Maybe it was all the sci-fi I've watched and read, but AI, programming, control, and robotics quickly turned into my passion and I hope to one day contribute to bringing some of those crazy ideas we all see in movies to fruition (hopefully without all the doomsday consequences).Even though the "cool" factor of what these topics can do led me to them, I love them since they have so many applications and so much potential to make life easier for so many people.I'm motivated and always willing to learn and expand my knowledge.When I’m not doing these courses you’ll often find me playing my guitar, doing puzzles, or playing games.
