Journey & Essence

About Me

Story, learning journey, personal universe, and technologies in practice.

My Story

I am a Junior Full Stack Developer and Internet Systems undergraduate at UniALFA in Umuarama/PR, Brazil. My passion is building clean, efficient, and visually impactful software, bridging backend solidity with modern and accessible user interfaces.

My contact with computing began early: by age 12, I was already disassembling computers to understand their internal mechanics. Later on, I worked as a maintenance assistant and IT technician (Mikrotik, Windows Server, and structured networks), acquiring a comprehensive systemic view — from network cabling physics to rendered browser pixels.

Across the public and private sectors, I developed high-converting landing pages, corporate systems in Laravel, data ingestion bots in Python, and this portfolio in Next.js 16 with React 19.

Special Gratitude

“Thank you, Thiago Dalfito. It was your encouragement that brought me into programming, and a part of every project of mine comes from that.”

Tech Journey

How I discovered and evolved in each technology of my ecosystem.

Hardware, Networks & Mikrotik

2024 - Present

At Imppar (maintenance assistant, Oct/2024 to Feb/2025) I studied and deepened my knowledge of Mikrotik and Windows Server. At Colégio Geração Cima (IT technician, Mar to Oct/2025) I managed computer labs and configured projectors, Apple TV, and Chromecast. Joining municipal IT support, I learned even more about computer architectures and networking from daily operations.

PHP & Laravel

2024 - Present

Professor Alex Morgado introduced me to PHP in 2024 at UniALFA, and I truly enjoyed exploring various paradigms of the language. I built a pure PHP + JS freelance site for JF Informática e Games. In municipal support, I was given the opportunity to create a fleet tracking system (Laravel 12, MySQL, Tailwind, Docker/Sail), backed by a Python bot for GPS tracker API data processing. Since March 2026, I work at Casa dos Conselhos de Umuarama with Slim framework. I am also continuously refactoring my academic projects.

Docker & Linux

2024 - Present

After joining the city hall IT department, I adopted dual-boot Linux and started containerizing my projects. Today, I dockerize everything I build for faster, reproducible, and standardized development and deployment.

JavaScript, TypeScript, React & Next.js

2024 - Present

I have worked with these technologies for 2 to 3 years. I delivered freelance projects and this Next.js portfolio, and React forms the foundation of my bachelor thesis. I also learned React Native, building the Bolão da Copa app during a hackathon at UniALFA in early 2026. I have strong interest in Angular and Vue.

Python & Data Automation

2024 - Present

Python was the reason I entered programming: my friend Thiago Dalfito encouraged me to learn and watch Gustavo Guanabara's courses. Today, I apply Python for automation scripts, data pipelines, and REST API integrations at city hall.

Tailwind CSS

2024 - Present

I began using Tailwind in early 2024 and loved it: an intuitive, high-performance styling framework for crafting accessible, dark/light responsive interfaces.

🎧 Music & Playlist

I appreciate diverse musical genres. Synthwave, instrumental Lo-Fi for intense focus, and classic rock fuel my daily coding sessions. Check out my public playlist:
