About

Hi, I'm Diogo Gomes de Araújo, and I am currently pursuing a Computer Science Master's Degree at Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto. Since I was young, my fascination with technology led me to build simple games, websites and applications, sparking a long-lasting passion for programming and shaping my career path.

I'm interested in cryptography, functional programming, distributed systems, compilers and algorithms, but primarily solving ever harder problems. I believe that by avoiding shortcuts and embracing difficulty I can reach greater heights as a professional.
