I'm building practical software projects in Java, Python, and React while pursuing a Computer Engineering degree at IFTM. My work spans REST APIs, relational databases, automated testing, and algorithmic problem-solving.

In my Learning Lab repository, I've developed Java projects ranging from algorithmic logic to Spring Boot back-end applications. These include a layered Contact Manager API with Spring Data JPA, validation, JUnit, and Mockito; a recursive backtracking checkers simulation; and a command-line Hangman game using HTTP, DTOs, Jackson, and JSON deserialization.

At the Biofy Hackathon, where my team placed second, I helped create a Flask REST API that consumed Oracle AI Vision. I've also taught a practical Python workshop and mentored students solving complex C++ programming problems in IFTM programming marathons.

Competitive programming has strengthened my foundation in data structures, algorithms, and optimization. I'm a national finalist in the Brazilian Informatics Olympiad and have earned bronze medals and honorable mentions in programming competitions.
