I work at Unbabel. Used to work in FenixEdu, the Instituto Superior Técnico Open Source Education Software Ecosystem (https://fenixedu.org/). I also used to do research work in Artificial Intelligence in L2F (https://www.l2f.inesc-id.pt/wiki/index.php/Artur_Ventura).

Personally I have interest in anything that has a chip in it, but most of my attention goes to language development, programming language translation, deep learning, reasoning, distributed systems and, of course, web application development.

Though I have developed some small applications, most of them are either hacks, or a combination of hacks and school projects. The projects that worked on are: I published are a interpreter for a small lisp-like language called house (http://code.google.com/p/house/) and very VERY rudimentary ( more like a proof of concept ) for a translator from python to lisp (http://www.surf-the-edge.com/2009/09/28/pnil-translation-from-python-to-lisp/), I've developed tesseract, a way to do queries on java domains ( http://www.surf-the-edge.com/2010/02/08/tesseract-transversing-java-domains-using-javascript/ ), a small library and GWT compiler hack that allows writing java games and export them to Canvas and Javascript (http://www.surf-the-edge.com/2010/05/29/html5-canvas-with-gwt/), I developed a meta circular language in order to write structured OO-JavaScript and published a paper on it (http://arxiv.org/abs/0912.2861), a domain model inspector that draws uml graphs in the browser (http://www.surf-the-edge.com/2011/06/16/fenix-domain-browser-v3/), did a presentation at last year codebits (https://codebits.eu/intra/s/session/178), did a JVM implementation written in JavaScript called BicaVM (http://bicavm.com) released during last year codebits, that got picked by slashdot (http://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/11/21/0454254/javascript-jvm-runs-java) and other half backed projects or small hacks.
