Currently down the rabbit hole: AI agents, Model Context Protocol, RAG, ....

I work on distributed systems and cloud infrastructure at Adobe. I'm interested in Kubernetes, AI automation, and building tools that make developers' lives easier. Currently managing ~17k production namespaces and trying not to break the internet.

AI Automation Tools

Building systems that use LLMs to automate repetitive engineering tasks. Mostly experimenting with agents, prompt engineering, and making developers' lives easier.

Work stuff

Various scripts and operators for managing large-scale deployments. The usual suspects: automated rollouts, config management, and trying to prevent 3am pages.

Random stuff

I'm from Portugal, currently living in Zurich. I like photography, good coffee, skiing, hiking, sim racing, and writing scripts that probably should be one-liners but definitely aren't. I also occasionally write about tech stuff and give talks at conferences when they let me.

I'm a vim afficionado and addicted to anything that makes developers more efficient - if there's a tool that can save me 2 seconds, I'll spend 2 hours configuring it.

Fun fact: I once helped organize a 1000+ person tech conference as a student. Turns out coordinating that many people was excellent preparation for... well, coordinating that many people.
