About me

How do I describe myself?

I describe myself as honest, creative and professional. Able to analyze each situation pragmatically and essentially with a critical spirit guided by an identity based on moral and ethical values of equality, evolution and empathy for human nature.

What do I look for in next job opportunity?

Actively seeking job opportunities beyond Portugal. I feel that my personal development is greater outside of my comfort zone as curiosity has always been part of my nature. This motto amplifies my commitment to deliver high-quality work.

I'm looking for a job opportunity in image processing, computer vision or data analysis fields. In a robust learning environment, it is crucial to clearly delineate the boundaries between competitiveness and unity. I believe that both values are essential for fostering high-quality work.

Master Thesis

Kidney segmentation in MRI images using deep learning: A comparison between U-NET and Attention U-NET

With this study, I gained proficiency using Python for computer vision.

In this research I studied deep learning methodologies in magnetic resonance imaging to address total kidney volume (TKV) as a non-invasive biomarker for the control and detection of diseases such as Chronic Kidney Disease. TKV can be obtained from kidney segmentation.

I compared the results obtained using two neural networks with different parameterizations for kidney segmentation. Two-class (kidney and background) and three-class (kidney, contour and background) approaches were applied as an attempt to improve the segmentation of border regions. Promising results were obtained.

Projects

Telecommunications Projects

Proficiency in MATLAB and basic skills in Python and HTML were put to the test, in addition to vast theoretical knowledge.

Antennas, Audio and Video Communication and Photonics brought me a passion for telecommunications.

Control Systems Projects

Proficiency in Python and MATLAB were put to the test, in addition to vast theoretical knowledge. The skills acquired throughout the projects gave me the basis for the theoretical and practical development of my master's thesis.

Artifical Inteligence laboratories brought me a passion for Data Analysis, Computer Vision and Deep learning algorithms.

Database Projects

SQL,PHP, HTML and CSS basic skills were put to the test.

Management Projects

Carrying out these projects gave me a greater analytical and critical ability for project management. When learning about the various phases of a project, the ability to see the importance of each phase is heightened. It is important to be aware of the importance of each phase to develop the best work possible.

Signal Processing Projects

Proficiency in MATLAB was put to the test, in addition to vast theoretical knowledge. Carrying out these laboratories gave me a passion for image processing, which was enhanced throughout my master's thesis.
