Xpanding Innovative Alliance (XiA) Consortium
Mar 2025 - Present · Remote
The Xpanding Innovative Alliance (XiA) project is an ambitious and relevant European initiative that will adress the challenges of interoperability in digital health with the advent of European Health Data Space (EHDS). Through an innovative pedagogical approach, XiA aims to bridge the skills gap in advanced digital health interoperability standards among IT professionnals, healthcare providers, and other implementers of the EHDS and European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF). XiA will make a significant contribution to build a more efficient, integrated and citizen-centric European healthcare ecosystem. WP3 co-leader where I led the identification and prioritization of critical interoperability skills needed by IT and healthcare professionals to support the future of digital health across Europe. By analysing existing education and training initiatives and uncovering key capability gaps, I defined a targeted set of skills, resources and curricula focused on advanced interoperability standards. This work delivered a scalable, interdisciplinary “skills package” for IT specialists, clinicians and healthcare managers, directly strengthening organisational competency frameworks and accelerating the effective design and implementation of interoperable health systems. The outcome enabled more integrated, cross-border healthcare delivery, improved evidence-based decision-making, and increased institutional readiness to respond to emerging digital-health challenges and opportunities across EU countries and regions.

PostgreSQL & MongoDB for DBAs This intensive program guides database administrators through the fundamentals and advanced features of both relational and NoSQL systems. Participants learned to install, configure, and optimize PostgreSQL and MongoDB, master backup and recovery strategies, implement security best practices, and fine‑tune performance for high‑throughput environments. Hands‑on labs reinforce key concepts—such as indexing, replication, sharding, and monitoring—so DBAs leave with the confidence to manage diverse data architectures in production. The Introduction to AI & Python Chatbots workshop was designed for developers and technology enthusiasts. It demystified artificial intelligence concepts and demonstrated how to build interactive chatbots using Python. The course began with an overview of AI fundamentals—machine learning, natural language processing, and conversational design—and then moved into practical exercises where participants created, trained, and deployed their own chatbots. By the end of the program, attendees had produced a fully functional Python‑based chatbot ready for integration with messaging platforms to deliver intelligent, automated interactions.
Research Engineer
Apr 2018 - Sep 2024 · Braga
Partnered with cross‑disciplinary teams under Agile frameworks to design, develop, and deploy multiple project under AIDA unbrela for remote patient‑monitoring platforms—such as AIDA Notes and AIDA Work—ensuring on‑time delivery within strict regulatory timelines. By integrating legacy healthcare systems with new IT services, he improved data interoperability and reduced manual errors by 40%. He also led the implementation of innovative user‑experience enhancements and workflow optimizations, cutting loading times and driving higher system adoption. Regularly presenting project updates, he translated complex technical insights into actionable business strategies, and he contributed to the field through several peer‑reviewed publications and the successful supervision of master’s theses. Additionally, he applied the openEHR specifications and clinical process modeling to further strengthen system reliability and compliance.
Full-stack developer & Data Engineer
Apr 2020 - Oct 2022 · Braga
As a member of the Factory of Future Smart Manufacturing Project, he designed and implemented real‑time data processing solutions—building streaming pipelines for industrial sensor data collection and information sharing across factory systems—and developed a multi‑layer Complex Event Processing (CEP) architecture with interactive dashboards for live data presentation and analysis. He also established robust ETL workflows to streamline sensor data handling and improve operational efficiency, created web‑based monitoring systems for factory line equipment, and co‑invented the “OntoInfer – Platform for Inference and Correction of Files from Ontologies” (patent pending).
Web Developer (Internship)
Jun 2016 - Sep 2016 · Guimarães
He developed the front‑end user interface and implemented seamless integration with back‑end APIs.
