Welcome to my page.
I'm Miguel, Machine Learning Engineer from π΅πΉ Portugal.
I enjoy working on projects that solve meaningful problems, particularly in areas like environmental challenges, sports analytics, and economic modeling.
- I'm a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers in the NFL π. Sometimes I do crazy things like staying up until 4 AM just to watch them play!
- Recently, I started a "picture a day" challenge πΈ to appreciate the beauty in everyday things that often go unnoticed.
- I can't read just one book at a time π - I always have multiple books on my bedside table, each with its own bookmark!
- Published a paper π: Developed a new method using satellite imagery to detect plastic waste in the ocean, with my findings now published.
- NFL Big Data Bowl 2025 Submission: Evaluating how defensive backs (DBs) disguise their intentions to improve defensive performance.
- LLM Models: Developing a self-presenting AI version of myself that tells the world about my work, passions, and pizza preferences (because why not, right?)
- Micro SaaS Project: Building a micro SaaS that returns movie scenes based on user-provided descriptions.
