Summer Internship 2024 @ Sky Portugal
Started as an Apprentice Backend Developer, working on a tool to support content metadata translation and integration with multiple downstream services for various platforms..
My name is Martim Santos, an MSc student at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Portugal, who participated in an Erasmus exchange program at Technische Universität München (TUM) in Munich. My current academic focus centers on Computer Science with specializations in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
Currently, I am working on my MSc Degree in Computer Science and Engineering Thesis about Aligning Language Models with Human Feedback without Reinforcement Learning under the supervision of Prof. André Martins and Prof. Franscisco Melo and with the help of Unbabel.
I hold a particular interest in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning.

I have extensively used various Python libraries in my course work and projects, leveraging NumPy and Pandas for data tasks, TensorFlow and PyTorch for deep learning, SciPy for scientific applications, Scikit-Learn for modeling and Matplotlib for visuals.
Some Projects: Deep Learning · Data Science · PADI · Machine Learning
I have worked with C/C++ for tasks such as object-oriented programming, compiler development, data structures, algorithms and query optimization. These languages have been instrumental in implementing various algorithms and optimizing code for efficient performance.
Some Projects: L22-Compiler · Operating Systems
I developed this website and other web applications using HTML and CSS to create interactive and responsive web applications that try to convey information in a clear and engaging manner. I have also worked with JavaScript and various libraries for the same purpose.
Some Projects: Portfolio · Nutrition Analyzer · Computer Graphics
As one of the top universities in Europe, TUM is highly ranked in global and European university rankings. According to Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024, TUM is among the top 30 globally, both overall and specifically for Computer Science. TUM is also recognized as the best university in Germany, highlighting its excellence in research and teaching.
During my time in the Erasmus+ program, I had amazing experiences. The academic environment at TUM challenged me in all the right ways and introduced me to diverse perspectives through interactions with students and colleagues from all around the world.
Living in Munich for six months was an incredible cultural journey. From enjoying the local Bavarian cuisine to exploring the city's heritage and the distinct Munich culture, each day was unfolded as a new adventure, deepening my immersion in the local culture.
Through forging meaningful connections with students and colleagues from diverse backgrounds, diving into captivating subjects, and embracing the language and customs, I've expanded my global perspective in ways I never thought possible.
I'm excited about the continued learning and growth that lie ahead, and I eagerly welcome future opportunities to broaden my horizons! 🌍✨
In my youth, I had the opportunity to play football as a registered athlete in FPF for three different teams, playing in AF Lisboa 1º Divisão and Divisão de Honra and many tournaments around the country. Over seven years, I developed my teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship skills.
Today, my passion for sports football endures. I enjoy playing football and padel not only with friends but also with colleagues, and I remain actively engaged with the latest happenings in professional sports.
I enjoy exercising because it allows me to challenge myself and see progress over time. I also appreciate the physical and mental benefits of strength training. Overall, going to the gym provides a sense of accomplishment and helps me feel strong and capable.
Gaming enables connection and the sharing of common interests, nurturing social bonds and friendships. I prefer multiplayer games for the added challenge and excitement they offer when played with friends, appreciating the strategy and communication required while enjoying the chill time.
