Bio

Originally from the interior of Rio Grande do Norte, this individual found an early passion for computers, starting entrepreneurial efforts in providing affordable digital music transfer services in their hometown at the age of 12. This initial venture marked the beginning of a journey into technology and business. During technical education, this passion matured into programming, leading to the development of various games and algorithms for personal use. Notably, the creation of a credit management system integrated with SUAP, the school management system, was a significant accomplishment during this period.

In college, knowledge expanded into computational classification algorithms, data structures, trees, and graphs, delving into topics beyond initial expectations. Professional endeavors included innovative explorations in web scraping and automation, areas often absent from conventional curricula. This drive for excelling in specialized fields has fostered continuous self-education, with an overarching goal of achieving personal excellence and contributing novel solutions in the technology sector.
