I recently finished my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Porto. My thesis benchmarked open-weight LLMs as negotiation agents, and before that I researched how class imbalance degrades synthetic tabular data generation.
Alongside my studies, I helped redesign UNI, the app UPorto students use every day, and led the IT department at ESN Porto.
