What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in software development.

I'm a passionate Software Engineering student with a strong foundation in full-stack development, boasting over five years of hands-on experience. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including leading a team to first place in the Hackathon Parquesoft, where we developed an innovative MVP in under a week. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can mentor others and share my knowledge of programming best practices.

My technical expertise spans a diverse tech stack, including Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL. I have successfully built scalable solutions, such as a comprehensive hotel management platform that integrates government APIs and automates legacy systems. My commitment to quality is reflected in my focus on Test-Driven Development (TDD) and my ability to document and validate APIs effectively. I am always eager to adopt new technologies and methodologies to enhance my skills and deliver exceptional results.
