Software Engineering and Systems Design opened my eyes to my ultimate passion in computer science—writing code. Every lecture was a blast, heavily inspired by the Systems Design mentorship of former Microsoft developer Marcelo Azevedo (github.com/his-user).

In total, I completed three internships during my undergraduate studies. The first, at the course coordination office, taught me discipline; the second, at the Federal Court, taught me management and leadership; and the third, at the UFT Software Factory, gave me hands-on programming experience.

In 2024, I was selected by the Canadian government for the ELAP scholarship. My four months in Canada were an unforgettable experience focused on leadership and programming!

Beyond the classroom, I had the rewarding opportunity to teach chess to public school children for a semester. I did this as an official member of the university chess league and as part of my Community Outreach coursework.

Team collaboration, leadership, version control, and project management methodologies—all culminating in a final presentation. It was an excellent opportunity to hone my public speaking skills!

Creating wireframes, mood boards, usability tests, heuristic analyses, and A/B tests was just the tip of the iceberg. I absolutely loved designing in Figma—we even won an award in that course!

I currently work full-time as a stock clerk, dedicating my free time to programming and completing my computer science degree. I am highly motivated to transition fully into the tech industry and bring my strong work ethic to a development team.
