Miguel Freitas

I’m Miguel Ângelo, a Research Engineer and technology enthusiast.

I’ve loved making things for as long as I can remember, and with a rich background in software development and a passion for aeronautics, I’ve embarked on an exciting journey with the "Aero.Next Portugal " project at DTx. This role leverages my technical skills for cutting-edge digital transformation in the field of aeronautics.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I actively contribute to the tech community. As the Director of the Development Department at NECC, I bridge academia and industry, enhancing coding skills and fostering innovation. My commitment to education extends to mentoring at CoderDojo Braga, where I inspire the next generation of programmers.

My academic pursuits have led me to collaborate with NASA through "The International Astronomical Search Collaboration", contributing to the discovery of new asteroids. This experience melds my love for science with hands-on research, embodying my belief in the power of exploration and discovery.

Beyond the world of tech, I express myself through music as a drummer for "GASPEA". Our band, a resident at the Escola do Rock program in Paredes de Coura, has recorded our first single, marking a milestone in my musical journey. Previously, I’ve enjoyed playing with "The Scoundrels (Next door)" and "Divine Roguery".
