About

I am in the final year of my degree. At FISTA, the student technology forum at ISCTE-IUL, I lead the team behind a platform used by more than 2,700 students. Before that I interned at NTT Data, and in 2026 I won ProgramISTA, the university’s algorithmic contest.

This blog is my public archive: project write-ups, the decisions behind them, and the notes I would otherwise lose. I write for a future version of myself. I explain the why, not just the how, and keep the links I used so I do not have to look for them again.

Corrections are welcome by email at albuquerque2158@gmail.com and are public: a mistake gets a dated note instead of a silent rewrite.
