Bio

Commencing a professional journey in technology in 2012 with foundational studies in computer science, a keen interest in the field was quickly developed. Following this, an academic pursuit in Systems Development Technology was initiated, with initial funding support from family. Financial independence was sought through successful completion of Marine Corps training, necessitating a temporary hiatus from academic endeavors. Upon resumption, the college education was self-financed, including the acquisition of a first vehicle.

Approaching graduation, engagement with freelance projects commenced as a hobby, initially in collaboration with a college peer before progressing to independent work. Certification as a parachute rigger for the Navy was achieved in 2019, marking the beginning of involvement in parachuting activities.

From 2018, dual roles were managed, serving as a Marine Corps personnel by day and pursuing development work by night. This period marked the transition from a hobbyist to a professional aiming for a career as a developer. Current roles include serving as Marine Corps personnel (Fuzileiro Naval) and assistant DOMPSA (auxiliary operations), while also excelling as a Full Stack Developer with expertise in PHP, Laravel, Node.js, and additional technologies.

In November 2022, active service in the Navy was concluded to fully dedicate efforts towards a career as a Full-Stack Developer.
