Passionate about learning and developing.

Believe it or not, my first books as a kid were always related to programming languages. Even without access to a computer, I liked to imagine the creation of interfaces based on books images.

My first contact with computers was as a school monitor. The computers were already outdated for the time, but the Windows 98 startup sound made me shiver with excitement. The internet has become my greatest source of knowledge. Weeks later I already created a web page for my school.

During a visit of a computing school members, I was invited to become an intern in exchange of professional courses. I immediately went there, as I didn't have the resources to pay for this much-desired trainings.

After learning about the programs, I also wanted to find out how things worked from the inside. So I got my first paid internship at a computer store, assembling and repairing computers.

Some time later, I was invited to teach classes at another computing school, where I also learned how to work with various programs for the time, such as AutoCAD, Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, CorelDraw, After Effects, among many others. This franchisee was interested in launching the Hardware training, which was not offered by the franchise at the time. For this challenge, at age 17, I wrote our own course.

I had the opportunity to start my developer career in access control companies. First creating simple integrations with Delphi, together with C and Assembly for microcontrollers. Finally, I dived deeper into the .NET applications documentation, where I got much more space. Combining techniques from previous knowledge, I created robust solutions, both in hardware and software, complying with different market demands.

Today I'm focused on back end technologies, both in development and architecture as well as the entire infrastructure. Also, I'm always looking for tech news. I like to be one of the first to test out new features.
