About Me
Turning passion into innovation, one line of code at a time
My Story
Born in Sete Lagoas, Brazil, I started my programming journey at the age of 15. What began as a curiosity with a Discord bot project soon evolved into a deep passion for software development.
As I honed my skills, I explored Data Science, Algorithms, and Machine Learning, which led me to dive deeper into Data Structures and core Computer Science concepts.
While studying, I co-founded Quantium Labs with three friends—a development company dedicated to delivering innovative products and experiences. As a full-stack developer, I worked with React, Next.js, and Vite for the frontend, and TypeScript for backend solutions. Although I'm no longer actively involved, I remain connected to the team as a code maintainer.
Today, as a Computer Science student at IFMG, I lead a team of 8 developers as technical lead on a university extension project, while also taking on freelance full-stack work—from payment integrations to gamified platforms. I've expanded beyond the frontend into backend architecture with Python and Django, and into infrastructure, deploying and maintaining production Linux servers. My studies led me to move to Belo Horizonte, where I continue to grow both academically and professionally.
My passion lies in building intuitive, efficient solutions that make a real impact. Every project is an opportunity to learn, innovate, and push the boundaries of what's possible.
