>/ Nuno Mendes

Based in Lisbon. Focused on Linux Systems, Network Debugging, and AI assisted programming.

I am a Tech Specialist with a solid background in IT Equipment Management. While my foundation is in hardware and network administration, my current focus is on the future of development: AI assisted programming.

In my professional role, I manage Ubuntu servers and specialize in network debugging to ensure seamless operations. I approach infrastructure with a problem-solving mindset, constantly analyzing servers to optimize performance.

My development workflow is powered by AI. I embrace "Vibe Coding" - leveraging Artificial Intelligence to accelerate my ability to build tools and automate workflows. This allows me to rapidly learn and implement solutions in Python (Mid-level) and Rust (Beginner), focusing on the logic and creativity while AI assists with the implementation.

When I'm not coding with AI, I'm exploring photography, hitting the gym, or following motorsports.
