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

• Technical architecture and roadmap ownership: CTO/open-source/founder roles
• Mentoring, code review and documentation: students/contributors
• Stakeholder communication and technical training: client/research settings
• Agile/project planning, risk and milestones: PM foundations

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 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.

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.
