I'm a backend engineer based in Portugal. I joined the Crypto team at Uphold in 2020 and I'm now a Lead Crypto Engineer there.

My work combines hands-on backend development with technical leadership. Most of it involves blockchain integrations, system design and production operations, and I work with other engineering teams to deliver cross-team initiatives.

Things I care about at work:

• Finding ways to take manual steps out of routine operational work.
• Keeping tech debt in check before it piles up.
• Making day-to-day development smoother for the team.
• Trying out AI-assisted development with my team and sharing what works.

• I run a homelab on a Linux mini-PC with Docker, Tailscale and AdGuard Home.
• I build my own tooling around AI agents.
• I tinker with Linux handhelds. My Legion Go runs Bazzite.
• I'm learning Japanese, one Genki chapter at a time. よろしくお願いします。
