I'm an MSc student in Advanced Computing at the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal, focused on parallel programming, distributed systems, and performance optimization. I recently interned at Bosch, building AI-assisted security tooling.
Master's thesis, in progress
A memory-disaggregation framework for heterogeneous HPC and data-center environments. It investigates remote-memory access, communication overhead, data placement, and performance-aware memory management.
Grade 20/20
How practical is LLM inference without a GPU? A benchmarking harness for the Deucalion supercomputer that measures quantization, thread scaling, context size, request concurrency, BLAS variants, and multi-node RPC with llama.cpp.
1.51 TFLOPS on Fujitsu A64FX · Grade 18.3/20
A custom double-precision matrix multiply using BLIS-style cache blocking and packing, SVE-512 vectorization, and CMG-aware OpenMP, measured on a 4096 × 4096 matrix with 48 threads. It also includes CUDA kernels for the NVIDIA A100 and a blocked LU factorization.
Grade 18/20
A plasma simulation code tuned across OpenMP, hybrid MPI + OpenMP, and CUDA, then compared on the Fujitsu A64FX, AMD EPYC 7742, and NVIDIA A100 nodes of Deucalion.
A scientific-visualization reconstruction of the tsunami: far-field propagation from the Horseshoe Fault with adaptive mesh refinement in GeoClaw, plus representative near-field flow studies in OpenFOAM.
Grade 18/20
A graphics engine with a procedural model generator and XML-defined scenes, ending in a textured, animated solar system with hierarchical transformations.
A local web GUI for browsing, searching, previewing, and transferring files over SSH. I built it for Deucalion, and it works with any host in ~/.ssh/config. It only needs the Python standard library and the system's ssh and scp.
An interactive CLI that generates optimized Makefiles and SLURM job scripts, with presets for clusters like Deucalion. Install it from PyPI.
Developed a TypeScript VS Code extension for real-time security vulnerability detection, and integrated generative AI APIs for context-aware remediation and automated fix suggestions.
Explored emerging HPC and AI topics with students, researchers, and HPC professionals from across Europe.
