Independent AI & Full-Stack Product Engineer
I work directly with small teams to turn unclear workflows and product risks into software that ships. My public work spans campus platforms, Ethereum contracts, Bitcoin products, and AI systems.
How I can help
I define the risk, choose the smallest sound path, and stay close enough to the code to ship it.
I audit one workflow, rank the opportunities, and hand you a 30-day action plan before a build starts.
I test real buyer questions, preserve the answers and cited sources, and show which evidence gaps are shaping AI recommendations.
I build AI workflows around the way your team already works, with a human on the decisions that matter.
I build focused AI agents with controlled context, tool permissions, evaluations, logs, and explicit human approval.
I package one useful API, dataset, archive, or agent tool and implement the x402 payment path around it.
I train small teams on a real workflow, then help them leave with a working prototype, evaluation method, and operating guide.
I turn a product decision into working software, then stay for launch and the first hard lessons.
I step in when a product needs a hard technical decision, a recovery plan, or a release that cannot drift.
I inspect the code, architecture, delivery path, and operating risk behind one important technical decision.
I turn code, interviews, and evidence into technical articles, documentation, and reports people can use.
Selected work
Three projects across AI visibility research, AI product engineering, and Ethereum delivery. The decisions, results, and evidence are documented.
Search visibility research, question analysis, and source review
I assessed how 42 Portugal appears in Portuguese search and AI answers: which candidate questions surface it, which sources models rely on, and where visibility drops.
Publisher and builder
I built an AI publishing product that combines the topics a reader chooses with the LinkedIn profile details they authorize, so each brief can follow their actual interests.
Smart contract and mint engineer
Founder Domingo Mattle called with 24 hours left before mint. I delivered the ERC-721 contract, allowlist, sale controls, airdrops, metadata, and three-way payout path in time for launch.
Client feedback
Twelve rated reviews. Five written recommendations. Original sources are linked where they exist.
Someone I recommend
I worked with Raphael at 42 Lisboa and later on blockchain products. He is a pragmatic full-stack engineer who has built with Vue, Node, Postgres, and Solidity—and someone I am comfortable putting forward personally.

Straight answers about the work, my background, and when an engagement makes sense.
I build AI workflows, web products, and the technical foundations behind them. I can take a messy problem from the first decision to working software—and leave the team with a system it can run.
I am based in Ericeira, in the Lisboa region of Portugal. I work with teams across Europe and remotely.
A real product, workflow, or technical decision with an accountable owner. We can start small, but someone must be able to make product decisions and give access to the evidence.
I start with the work: who owns it, what information moves, where decisions fail, and what a mistake costs. AI goes only where it can be tested. Permissions, review, logs, and recovery are part of the build.
Yes. I can set architecture and delivery direction while staying close to the critical code, product behaviour, and release path.
