Experience

I studied economics at the University of Porto and finance at Bocconi in Milan, then spent three years at McKinsey in Lisbon, mostly with banks and on AI infrastructure. I am now an MBA candidate at MIT Sloan, looking to do strategy work inside a technology company. Outside work I build small products of my own, such as SalarySeed.

Outside work

Building my first computer from parts at 14 years old to save money triggered my lifelong scrappiness and grit. I became a long-time gamer, whether casually (e.g., Minecraft, Factorio) or more competitively (e.g., Dota 2, which I still play today). This led me to cast a wide net in my education and work; I still prefer being broad rather than deep, and live by it. Nowadays, you'll mostly find me traveling across the US and beyond, but always keeping my geek side alive through video games and Twitch.
