Hey there

I'm Bruno Mendes.

I’m a Software Engineer based in Porto, Portugal, holding an MSc from FEUP. I enjoy crafting code, playing chess and exploring ideas through discussions and writing, hopefully offering value to others along the way.

As the first anniversary of my graduation approaches, I feel it’s the perfect time to write a decently-sized article reflecting on what I’ve taken from my college experience.
