About Me

I love challenges. Moving to Canada was the riskiest but also the best decision I have ever made. I love travelling and practicing sports. Having studied Computer Science in Brazil, taking a Software Development Bootcamp was a great way to get back on track and freshen up my programming skills. Currently I work as a Full Stack Developer and help bootcamp students reach their goals.
