Education

Doctoral Programme in Informatics Engineering (PhD)

University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering (2020 – present)

Currently focused on low-code and developer experience

Integrated Masters in Informatics and Computing Engineering (BSc + MSc)

University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering (2015 – 2020)

My Master's dissertation combined the topics of communication, agile methodologies and patterns. In my work, I gathered information about effective communication in agile software development contexts, identifying good practices and common solutions to increase the quality of existing communication and collaboration. These practices were then sorted out into three categories: environment patterns, activity patterns, and people patterns.
