I am a self-taught programmer with an academic background in biological anthropology. I graduated in Human Evolution and Biology at the University of Coimbra, while simultaneously founding osteomics, where I developed several web applications.
Later I obtained a DPhil at University of Oxford in Geospatial Paleoanthropology. Currently, I am a paleontologist at Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique.
Here are a few technologies I can help you with:Paleontologist and lab manager for the Paleo-Primate Project Gorongosa
I develop and maintain Osteomics—a web platform offering free software tools for bioanthropologists. We provide consulting on statistical analysis and app development for scientific projects in forensic anthropology and human evolution.
I co-founded JEST - Junior Enterprise for Science and Tech @ University of Coimbra.

Studying anthropology has provided me with a integrated understanding of the social, cultural, and biological dimensions of humans. Through analysis of bones, genetics, artifacts, languages, behaviors, norms, symbols, narratives, and institutions, I’ve learned to interpret the complexities of cultural and biological diversity. This epistemological decentralization broadens perspectives, enabling me to understand and analyze past and present dilemmas.
