Born and raised in Lambeth in the late 90s to Portuguese parents, I pursued my passion for technology and earned a degree in Computer Science. Since 2018, I have been working in the FinTech industry as a Software Engineer, currently in The City. In the w:en:2022 United Kingdom local elections, I achieved a significant milestone by being elected as a local councillor for Oval ward in Lambeth.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply involved in politics, not only in the UK but also in Portugal. I also delve into the rich tapestry of Medieval European history, with a particular focus on the Italian Republics during the Renaissance. I indulge in strategic gaming, particularly enjoying titles such as Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings. My fascination with Portuguese history encompasses pivotal moments like the end of the monarchy, the First Portuguese Republic, the Estado Novo regime, and the transformative 1974 Revolution.

Furthermore, I harbor a keen interest in the development of the Westminster Parliament and the UK's political system.
