Diogo Peralta Cordeiro

Computer scientist and software engineer completing a PhD in Computer Engineering, with C++ as the main language throughout the doctorate and 8+ years across open-source platforms, dependable systems, spatial interaction, mentoring and technical teaching.

• C++: primary language throughout the PhD, including spatial-interaction runtimes and systems architecture.
• PHP and SQL: production applications, open-source platforms and data models.
• Python: research, experimentation, data analysis and tooling.
• C, Java, JavaScript, Haskell and Prolog: systems, web and computer-science projects.
• Bash, Linux and Git: daily development and deployment.

• Algorithms, data structures, optimisation: CS/research foundations
• Computer vision and machine perception: doctoral/research work
• Experimental design and technical reporting: research delivery
• LaTeX and scientific writing: papers/thesis

Led an EU-funded platform rewrite, supported 13 student developers and translated research-heavy systems into executable architecture, code, documentation and public releases.

Converted ambiguous objectives into scoped milestones, documented decisions, visible risks and delivery criteria across four recurring workstreams: architecture, implementation, operations and stakeholder communication.

Mentored 13 developers and students, delivered 11 recorded talks and workshops, and built three public teaching collections for repeatable technical learning.

Designed a four-layer spatial-interaction platform for museums—Pro-Cam units, physical controls, web authoring and privacy-aware analytics—to move doctoral prototypes toward repeatable installations.

Delivered internal PHP/SQL systems across four layers—data models, backend logic, administration and reporting—turning operational constraints into maintainable workflows and training.

Led the EU Horizon 2020-funded GNU social v3 rewrite, replacing legacy PEAR-era foundations with Symfony while coordinating architecture, accessibility, plugins, releases and contributor delivery.

Mentored 13 students across Google Summer of Code, a community-funded programme and FEUP: four GSoC developers, one community participant and eight software-engineering students.

Co-founded and led a social-discovery startup as CTO, securing two competitive grants while owning product architecture, the engineering roadmap and delivery at UPTEC.

At INESC TEC’s Centre for Telecommunications and Multimedia, surveyed parametric 3D human-body models and built a reproducible comparison pipeline; awarded the highest-ranked work in the MCT category of Summer@CTM 2022.

At LSTS/FEUP, developed a low-cost autonomous surface vehicle and docking approach under an FCT research grant, combining vector-field guidance, camera tracking, IMU, GPS and Raspberry Pi 4.

Doctoral research in deployable spatial augmented reality and multi-application systems, implemented primarily in C++ throughout the PhD; supervised by Prof. João Tasso de Figueiredo Borges de Sousa.

Computer Science degree with substantial mathematics, systems, theory, programming, AI, security, networking, databases and interaction-design foundations.

Development process of an entrepreneurial project, the entrepreneurial mindset, and team dynamics; concluded with a two-day Global Health hackathon, which my team won.

Concurrent design of a CubeSat mission using COMET, guided by ESA experts.

Spacecraft design and project management training attended as part of ANTAEUS, a prospective FYS! Portuguese team.

36-hour course on acquisition, processing and analysis of the EEG signal, at the Laboratory of Neuropsychophysiology.

Applications of cyber-physical systems in robotics, energy, mobility, production systems and health.

LSTS summer school on maritime robotics: sensors, vehicles, control, underwater communications, multi-vehicle planning and the LSTS/OceanScan toolchain.

Credential B6703928. Reading 200 (A/C2) · Use of English 201 (A/C2) · Writing 190 · Listening 193 · Speaking 195.

Trainer-of-trainers certification. Final grade: 5 — Excellent. Credential F751769/2024.

Quad-rotor modelling, subsystem analysis in Scilab/Xcos, and motion control and stabilisation.

Presentation of FEP-2100 — distinguished as Best Oral Communication in Engineering.

Hands-on workshop on version control, from rsync/diff/patch and RCS/SVN history to Git internals and etiquette.

Discussed the impact of algorithmic decisions on the content we consume and the public discussions we have.

One-hour talk on model-driven development, hard real-time systems, RAMS and safeguard mechanisms in space avionics.

My internship on parametric human-body models was distinguished as the best of the MCT category by the jury of the Summer@CTM 2022 internship programme.

“GNU social v3 and Unbound Actors” was distinguished as the best oral communication in the Engineering area.

An open-source toolkit for exploratory literature mapping through citation networks. A Python pipeline turns scholarly metadata into inspectable graphs and browser-ready datasets; a static explorer keeps local files in the browser.

A focused weekly time and task tracker with goals, streaks, manual corrections, a live timer, reports, exports and team workspaces. The current launch has no billing, paywall or trial countdown.

A real-time eyewear try-on built from one TypeScript codebase. MediaPipe landmarks drive frame position and perspective while face-aware occlusion keeps the temple arms behind the head.

My PhD work explores multi-application spatial augmented reality, with C++ as the main implementation language.

A playful introduction to coding, robots, algorithms, loops, binary, pixels, networks and password safety. Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish and French.
