About
I’ve been coding since I was 14, starting with
Minecraft mods in Java,
which eventually led me down the rabbit hole of low-level programming
with C and tinkering with simple NCurses apps.
Studying computer engineering at UTFPR deepened my love for
programming, and now I’m comfortable with C, C++, Python, Go, Java,
and JavaScript, along with tools like LaTeX, PostgreSQL, Redis,
OpenCV, NumPy, and Docker.
