About Me
Hi! I’m João Teixeira (Jo-ahn-uhm Tay-shay-ra).
I’m a Software Engineer at Microsoft, where I design and build automated, data-driven systems for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Infrastructure. My work focuses on leveraging historical data and predictive analytics to optimize capacity management and resource allocation at scale.
I’m passionate about Geometry Processing and Machine Learning, particularly shape representation and analysis. I was a MIT Summer Geometry Initiative Fellow (2023), where I kick-started several projects showcased here.
Previously, I worked on Computer Graphics and Medical Imaging as part of the ARIA Lab in collaboration with the X-ray Physics Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m also a proud recipient of the Estudar Foundation Tech Fellowship.
Feel free to connect—let’s talk about geometry, machine learning, and engineering!

🍳 I recently got into cooking and I'm trying to learn as many healthy recipes as possible

✈️ I love traveling and one of my dreams is to visit all continents before my 30s!
