Bio

Initial exposure to development occurred in 2002, beginning with the creation of hobbyist websites. Extensive knowledge has been acquired over the years, starting as a front-end developer. Subsequently, expertise in Adobe Flash/ActionScript 3.0 was developed to build mobile applications, introducing object-oriented programming concepts. A significant career milestone involved relocating to Berlin to establish a digital marketing platform from the ground up for a startup, transitioning into a full-stack developer with proficiency in Ruby on Rails. Upon returning to Brazil, remote part-time work for the same company continued, allowing for focus on a personal project: an Online Travel Agency platform. This platform features an API built in Ruby and utilizes ReactJS for the front end. With development on this project largely stabilized after five years, a keen interest in exploring new professional opportunities is demonstrated.
