School
I’m officially a Bachelor’s degree holder now. Every exam was completed and passed, with my lowest grade being 17/20, so I’m really happy with my performance and proud to have closed this chapter.
Internship
My internship and capstone work at INESC TEC are now finished. I received 19/20 for the project, which was a great way to conclude the experience.
The paper GNN-Guided Graph Partitioning for Spatial CGRA Mapping has been accepted for presentation at INForum 2026. The reviewers found the topic relevant and the results convincing, while also providing useful feedback for clarifying the framework, strengthening the related work, and explaining the experimental limitations. I’m really happy that this project is becoming a publication and looking forward to presenting it.
Education — Next Chapter
DTU (Technical University of Denmark) for my Master’s in Engineering and Computer Science is still locked in. On August 15th, I’ll be moving to Denmark to start a new chapter in my life.
I’ll be specializing in Distributed and Embedded Systems, while also taking courses from the Cognitive Systems specialization. I already have a broad idea of what I might want to research for my thesis: Edge AI.
Building
I’ve finished the alojamentoideal.pt rewrite. The project was rebuilt using newer technologies, cached components, and a completely upgraded overall architecture compared to the previous version. It was a big summer project, and I’m happy to have brought it to a finished state.
Right now, I’m mostly thinking of cool new features for my denizlg24.com app and exploring ideas for where to take it next.
Life
I’m also enjoying the summer and spending time with friends at the beach. On July 25th, I’ll be participating in a beach flag football tournament, which should be a lot of fun.
