Who am I?

It is my pleasure to introduce myself as a Ph.D. student at Técnico Lisboa in Portugal, with a strong background in Computer Science and Engineering. I hold a Master's degree in Distributed Systems and IT Services Management, which has provided me with a solid foundation in the field. My research interests primarily lie in the domain of security and privacy of cross-chain solutions. Over the course of my academic career, I have been actively involved in various open-source projects, including Hyperledger Cacti, a project that focuses on interoperability. In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I am an active member of the Secure Asset Transfer Protocol (SATP) Working Group at the Internet Engineering Task Force. Through this involvement, I have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of cross-chain standardization. I am available to join research projects and/or consulting.

Areas of Interest: Blockchain, Cross-Chain, Distributed Systems, Programming

Interest in Researching: Security and Privacy in Cross-Chain, Cross-Chain MEV
