About André
I'm a Technology Strategy Consultant at Deloitte in Porto, working on IT strategy, enterprise architecture and AI adoption for companies across EMEA.
Before Deloitte I was an AI researcher at Critical TechWorks (BMW Group), where I built APITestGenie, an LLM-powered tool that cuts developer testing time by 4x. That work became a peer-reviewed paper at ICSE 2026.
I hold a BSc and MSc in Informatics and Computing Engineering from FEUP and I'm now a PhD candidate at FCUP, researching multimodal AI reasoning.
