Hi šŸ‘‹ I'm Sofia!

I'm a Software Engineer based in Porto.

About Me

I have a bachelor's degree in Informatics Engineering and am currently finishing my master's in Informatics and Computer Engineering at FEUP. For my thesis, I'm developing an intelligent knowledge management system aimed at supporting engineering education. What excites me most is that it's not just a research project — it's a real product with the potential to help students and educators access knowledge more easily and effectively. Creating something useful that can truly make a difference is what drives me.

Frontend development is where I feel most at home. I love designing clean, thoughtful interfaces that make the user experience seamless. JavaScript still tests my patience sometimes, but each challenge helps me grow stronger and more confident.

Outside of tech, I'm always exploring — whether it's discovering new places, diving into music from around the world, or trying new sports. Lately, I've been practicing padel, it's a great way to reset after a full day of screen time.
