I'm a full-stack web developer with a sound understanding of Marketing, Design, and User Experience (UX), focused on creating digital products that have a significant impact on society..
My first lines of code were written back in 1998 when the Brazilian web was still in its early years — and so was I. Since then, I've touched everything web-related, from antique Java Applets, going through Flash Websites, PHP, Rails, and the rise in popularity of Javascript frameworks (React, Vue, Angular). Alongside my interest in programming has always been a keen desire to improve as a UI/UX designer. This passion led me to abandon a Computer Engineering course at UFRGS (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul) and pursue an Advertising degree at ESPM (Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing), where I honed my research, management, and design skills.
I strongly believe that every tech endeavor must respect the triple bottom line: be socially responsible and environmentally conscious before thinking about profit measurement. My personal values revolve around practicing what I preach, respecting fellow human beings, and leaving the world a better place for future generations.
Nowadays, I spend most of my time on EduSpace, an education software project created to help solve management problems in very complex school networks.Our goal is to create an affordable solution that can be easily adopted by schools of any socioeconomic level, creating a huge and measurable impact on the education in the developing world. In this way, we can level the playing field, ensuring that kids and teenagers from different backgrounds can receive access to quality education, thereby reducing inequality.
