Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Santos is a PhD candidate in Informatics Engineering at Universidade de Coimbra, specializing in Music Information Retrieval and Computational Creativity with a particular focus on percussive timbre transfer. With eight years of experience spanning full-stack development, NLP-driven document processing, and university-level teaching, he blends rigorous engineering skills in Python, JavaScript and SQL with creative AI research. His master’s project generated musical artifacts from images, exemplifying his knack for cross-modal creativity and practical prototyping. A recognized educator (Excellent Teacher award) and former TA, he pairs strong communication and tutoring experience with hands-on product work at startups like DocDigitizer.
