About Me
Hello, my name is Rui Santos and Iām a Software Engineer. I joined ISEC in 2016 and finished my Informatics Engineering degree in 2019. After that I decided to follow further education and started the master in Informatics Engineering at University of Minho in Braga. Iām in the last year of the masters, writing my thesis about Microservices Architectures and Apache Kafka.
During my degree and masters Iāve been involved in several projects (one of them involved Bosch Braga). Iāve also interned at a startup in Coimbra, YouShip.
Always keen to know more, especially about the latest trends in software development, I've done several online courses on the platform Udemy, to further increase my technical skills and knowledge.
I like to think of myself as a person with initiative, curious, funny, responsible and hard worker.

Condominium Management ā¢ University of Minho
In the informatic engineering lab course of the Masters I'm attending, its main project has as a goal to develop an app that facilitates condominium management. There was a need for collection of requirements (functional and non functional), defining the stack that was going to be used, and developing a Backend App in Node JS and Express. Three students were in charge of the project. I took part in collecting the requirements, software architecture and backend app development.

Dissertation ā¢ Microservices Architecture with Apache Kafka in HealthCare
Duration: 2020 - 2021 (in Progress)
"In microservices architectures, there are several problems that can become complex, namely the issue of communication between the services of an application. There are several forms of communication, however, a bad approach can cause an application based on microservices to become a distributed monolithic solution, not enjoying the advantages of said architecture. Of all forms of communication, there is one that stands out, Messaging, which is based on messages exchanged through a Publisher and a Subscriber through a Message Broker. Apache Kafka is one of the most widely used Message Brokers. (...)"
