About Me

My name is Luís, and I was born and raised in Joane (Portugal). I have a master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Robotics, and Automation but my passion for Software led me to get a post-graduation degree, this time in Software Engineering. At this moment I'm working as a Software Engineer at Curve, a London-based fintech that wants to revolutionize the payment industry.
In my free time, I like to read tech blogs and experiment with new technological things. Additionally, I like cinema and, you can, most of the time, find me practicing sports like running, swimming and biking. I love to travel and experiment with other cultures and know about the history of every place I visit.
I have an extreme passion for technology and I value knowledge above all.
