I first saw a PC 34 years after its earliest release. Being far from the epicenter of inovations not only delayed the arrival of inventions, but also knowledge. However, when the computer came, I tryed to use it as best as possible: I descovered google and youtube – two fantastic teachers. This ignited a passionate enthusiasm, propelling me towards further explorations in the realm of technology.
After years fueled by this inherent passion, I have made the decision to showcase the transformative power of the talents shown here in creating a unique team, in order to develop innovative products and services. That's why I'm here: venturing into the job market as a web developer to turn my passion into impact.
Since December 2022, I've been gaining practical experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ReactJS by creating professional websites – detailed on the following page. Through diligent employment of advanced study methods such as active recall and spaced repetition, I've rapidly enhanced my technical knowledge. And, just as I swiftly mastered frontend development in some months, I am currently expanding my proficiency in NodeJS and SQL to create powerful applications across all stacks of the web.

I wholeheartedly embrace a life philosophy centered on manifesting the future in the present. I strongly believe that it's a effective way to create a meaningful social impact, which aligns perfectly with my deep passion for driving positive change in society.
It was back in 2018 when I stumbled upon Arduino, and its potential immediately captivated me. Developing prototypes quickly became a beloved habit as I created efficient day-to-day solutions, aiming to find ingenious answers to various social problems. I undertook diverse projects, ranging from automated coffee machines to a virtual assistant, which were groundbreaking in my small, untouched town where automation was unheard of. With limited resources, I utilized simulation platforms and dedicated countless hours to developing my ideas. Eventually, my unwavering dedication led me to a project that evolved into scientific research, resulting in a high-level academic publication.
In January 2023, I embarked on a diligent study of the book "Practical Electronics for Inventors" by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk. Their remarkable work provided me with a fascinating insight into the realms of computer and electronic engineering. Fueled by this growing passion, I successfully achieved my goal of comprehending the inner workings of computers by recreating two iconic classics from the world of computing that have greatly influenced the way we perceive technology today. These achievements will be discussed shortly.
In 2019, my introduction to game development opened up a whole new world for me. It all began when I stumbled upon a small course that showcased the use of the Java language in game development. As someone who had dabbled in a few games as a kid, this course resonated with me on a deep level. Embracing this opportunity was crucial in establishing a solid foundation for advanced programming concepts such as Abstraction, Inheritance, Encapsulation, and Polymorphism. While typically acquired through formal undergraduate studies, I was able to solidify this knowledge through the practical application of developing my own versions of games. Through the dynamic nature of the course, I not only gained theoretical understanding but also tangible experience in creating captivating games.
Getting a taste of the social impact through a scientific publication in late 2022, I embarked on a journey to study web programming languages in order to develop more accessible and impactful social solutions compared to automation projects. I began my studies in December 2022 and have been steadily expanding my knowledge and skill set ever since. I ventured into developing small front-end applications last year, and this year I'm well on my way to mastering the tools of the back-end to breathe life into impactful projects.
My aim is to assist the public education sector in my country by creating accessible and intuitive resource and teacher management tools. I rely on my unwavering determination to master the finest techniques in order to develop these applications, along with incorporating leadership and entrepreneurship concepts to persuade leaders of the benefits of the digital world. I am fully dedicated to this cause, and the results are just a matter of time!

A revolutionary idea of testing the effectiveness of automation prototypes in minimizing indirect contact between individuals during the pandemics, by automating manual processes, such as faucets and door handles.
I pitched this project to large microbiology companies in search of sponsorship. Studied electrical circuits to bring the ideas to life. Managed talents in a team. Learned from scratch how to construct scientific article. Mastered myself in microbiology and data science to provide a research foundation. Practiced and honed skills in persuasion, leadership, and product vision
At 18, I achieved a scientific publication in a journal with an impact surpassing 50% of all published research in the field of computer engineering – comparable to journals ranked within the Q2 quartile. I discovered my passion for research and developed intense perseverance in achieving my goals. Link
Introducing the culmination of countless hours of meticulous computer engineering expertise — a groundbreaking achievement in the realm of computation — the Turing Machine Prototype. This cutting-edge device stands as a testament to innovation and technical prowess.
Every intricate detail has been carefully considered, from the arrangement of the tape and the placement of the read/write head to the intricate mechanics that bring this theoretical concept to tangible reality.
This prototype not only pays homage to the visionary work of Alan Turing but also serves as an intense personal desire to contribute to the world of technology. With its thoughtful implementation, this Turing Machine Prototype is poised to become a symbol of innovation and a testament to the endless possibilities that unfold when theory meets craftsmanship.
This prototype is on par with undergraduate theses in computer engineering, and I developed it out of a sheer thirst for knowledge as someone passionate about computers.
After immersing myself in countless Apple releases at WWDC, studying the biographies of the most talented engineering minds of our time, and being deeply moved by the impact Apple has had on the world, I wasn't satisfied and I decided to undertake a personal challenge. I set out to recreate the crown jewel of Apple's revolutionary product line: the Macintosh 128K, using the same techniques and principles that the company's brilliant artists used in the original 1981 prototype.
Through trial and error, I persevered until I succeeded in producing a concise and elegant prototype, just as Apple had done in 1984. The result of my labor was nothing short of a masterpiece - a tribute to the legacy of Apple and the incredible minds that built it.

In this project I could make some tests using HTML CSS and Javascript, I learnt many advanced concepts in both languages
During my second month of the programming course, I took on my first Java development challenge. It was a significant step for me, as I delved, for the first time, into object-oriented programming concepts like classes, encapsulation, and abstraction. This project allowed me to grasp the inner workings of game logic.
I faced the task of creating a collision system that handled object interactions, trajectory calculations, and impact angles. It was a mind-opening experience, pushing me to think how all the functions of the Games are developed.
Through this project, I put into practice my Java knowledge. It laid a solid foundation for future programming challenges, highlighting my ability to learn and apply new concepts effectively.
