Welcome to my portfolio
My name is Zuneid Issufo Bacar
I'm an IT Engenineer
I'm an IT Engineer with an interest in software development, AI and Data analysis. I am from Maputo Mozambique and currently living in Coimbra, Portugal. My favorite areas include AI, Backend Development, Data Analysis, and Distributed systems. I am familiar with languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, C, C++ and C#.
I am fluent in Portuguese and English, and can read and write both languages proficiently.

Artificial Intelligence
I have developed several AI-related projects, including machine learning models, reactive agents and neural network experiments. These projects focus on solving problems using intelligent systems. The GIF shown is a result of an evolutionary algorithm I implemented to generate simple AI agents that learn to navigate a 2D environment where the goal is to land the spaceship between the flags. The same problem was tackled using a reactive agent. Other Projects include audio analysis to identify the spoken digit using machine learning and backpropagation neural networks.
Data Analysis
Projects involving sales data analysis and audio signal processing, focused on extracting meaningful information from different types of datasets. Work includes data cleaning, transformation, feature extraction, analysis, and visualisation using clear and intuitive charts and dashboards. Audio projects emphasise understanding and extracting key signal characteristics to analyse sound patterns. Projects involving metadata-rich datasets focus on understanding the relevance of each data field, applying appropriate encoding techniques, and preparing data effectively for further analysis or machine-learning workflows.
Distributed Systems and Backend Development
Project focused on building and managing distributed systems with microservices architectures and scalable applications. Emphasis on designing systems that can handle high availability, fault tolerance, and efficient communication between services. In this project, a search engine was developed with each component providing services, where each service is responsible for a specific functionality such as indexing, querying, and crawling. This project also features WebSocket integration for real-time updates and notifications.

About Me
I’m an IT Engineering graduate originally from Maputo, Mozambique, now based in Coimbra, Portugal, where I completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Coimbra. My main interests lie in backend development, AI and distributed systems, and I’m continuously working to deepen my skills. With my degree completed, I’m excited to take the next step into the professional world and contribute meaningfully to the tech industry. I enjoy challenges whether in coding, problem-solving, or different types of puzzles as they help me sharpen my skills and gain new perspectives.
I enjoy solving and collecting different types of Rubik’s Cubes, from the classic 3×3 to more complex and uniquely shaped puzzles. Beyond being a hobby, it’s an activity that strengthens my pattern recognition, algorithm memorization, and understanding of how simple principles can evolve into complex systems. It also nurtures my creativity and each puzzle encourages me to look at problems from new angles and think of elegant, efficient solutions, much like the process I follow in projects.
