I lead engineering on live AI products — systems that have to stay up, stay secure, and keep getting better. I am an Angolan software engineer. I studied ICT, then Software Engineering at the University of Porto, and I have spent the years since putting that training into products people actually use.

At Latimer.ai I run day-to-day engineering for a production LLM built around inclusive voice and diverse histories. I have worked with Intel on on-device and education programs, and with Grammarly — now Superhuman — on an inclusive writing agent.

In Luanda I lead Kietu — aquele que nos pertence, “ours” in Kimbundu. We are building two platforms: ISA, a legal model trained only on Angolan data, and Kietu itself, the company behind the next systems for the country. The point is not to import someone else’s stack. It is to build one that belongs here.
