João Augusto

Computer Science graduate from the University of Porto, currently pursuing a master's in Network Engineering and Information Systems. Hands-on experience building end-to-end IoT and data systems, from sensor acquisition through processing pipelines to real-time visualization. Comfortable across Python and Java, with project work spanning networking, security, databases, artificial intelligence, and digital forensics. Enjoys taking a problem from raw signal to a working, observable system.

Research Intern in Digital Health at FMUP Digital Health Lab (2025-01 – 2026-12)

• Built an end-to-end IoT system for real-time acquisition, transmission, and visualization of biomedical signals (ECG and PPG), sampling ECG at 250 Hz and PPG at 100 Hz across 3 sensor nodes.
• Engineered low-latency data pipelines over MQTT, achieving reliable sensor-to-server delivery with sub-100 ms end-to-end latency.
• Configured InfluxDB time-series storage to handle multiple continuous high-frequency data streams without loss.
• Developed interactive Grafana / ELK dashboards to monitor clinical indicators (Heart Rate, SpO2) in real time.

Junior Tutor at Psicoacademia (2021-01 – 2025-12)

• Delivered Mathematics tutoring and pedagogical support to elementary and high-school students, adapting explanations to different learning levels.
