I build bootcamps and courses that turn people's careers around. Not metaphorically — I mean someone walks in lost, and walks out landing their first tech job. That's the part that gets me out of bed.

I'm a Lead Instructor at Ironhack (DevOps & Cloud Computing), Tokio School (Frontend & OOP), and CINEL (Data Science, AI/ML, React). I also run DIONAMITE, an App & Games company based online. When I'm not teaching, I'm a medical student at ICBAS (University of Porto), studying Japanese towards N1, going in exploration adventures in and outside Portugal, or building things that probably shouldn't be built at 2 AM.

I don't gatekeep. I don't lecture from a pedestal. I sit next to my students and we figure things out together. The best moment in teaching is when someone says "I actually get it now" — and you can see the exact second it clicks.

My classrooms are inclusive, chaotic in the best way, and built on the idea that anyone can learn this stuff if the right person explains it the right way. I've had biologists, designers, people with zero tech background walk through my courses and come out the other side as working professionals.

I juggle too many things and I love every single one of them. I read about Vedic astrology and Jungian psychology while deploying Terraform. I believe that teaching is the highest-leverage thing you can do with your time — one good class can redirect someone's entire life trajectory.
