Sobre Mim
I'm Kate, an AI engineer and researcher based in Porto, with a background in applied mathematics, computer science and quantitative finance. Beyond my day job, I love building practical AI tools that solve real problems in everyday life.
I'm currently working on:
- A personal AI assistant that I built to keep my work, projects and daily life organised.
- My own personal finance solution, which grew out of years of working in finance and managing my own money, and which now runs remotely in the cloud.
- Research in machine learning, with several publications on generative models and NLP.
I can help you with:
- Starting or growing a career in AI, data science or quantitative finance
- Research, publishing and applying for MSc, PhD and research roles
- Turning an idea into a working AI tool or side project, from prototype to a hosted product
- Using AI and automation to stay organised and productive
- Personal finance thinking for people in tech
- Settling in and building a career in Portugal as an expat
