About me

Hello! 👋 Welcome to my website!

I’m Sofia Santos, a software engineer, PhD student and invited assistant at University of Minho. You can use she/her pronouns to refer to me.

I was born and raised in Braga, Portugal. If you’re ever there, I can give you some recommendations on where to eat the best francesinha!

I’ve always been a huge computer geek, so it came as a surprise to no one when I decided to pursue a degree in software engineering. The surprise came later, when I discovered that I really enjoyed teaching (and am quite good at it, if I do say so myself 🤭). Therefore, my current goal is to become a college professor.

My hobbies include building and displaying my LEGO sets, listening to music and watching movies without multitasking! I also love writing, but I never seem to have the inspiration to actually write anything. 😅

I’m a big fan of puzzles and mysteries. Take me to an escape room and we’ll immediately become friends! Seriously, one of my favorite media genres is literally “Pacific Northwest” (iykyk). I could talk about Twin Peaks, Alan Wake or Gravity Falls for hours…
