About me

Who Am I?

I am a junior software developer, who looks for growth, challenges, and gets things done at every moment.

My specialties are learning every time, getting better critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and be a better person every day. Every day is crucial for me, as I do my best to improve on what is necessary and to be a better professional.

I'm a language-agnostic (I do think each programming language is a tool for solving problems, and one might not be the best for a specific problem) person, but I've chosen to use JavaScript/TypeScript (React and other tools), Python (Django and other tools) and Ruby (Ruby on Rails and other tools) to work on my side projects. Any opportunity is welcomed to learn a new programming language.

At the moment, I'm working to get better at Data Structures and Algorithms, and on previously mentioned programming languages and tools on my side projects.

Please, consider some grammatical mistakes, as I'm still learning and improving my English communication skills.

Stay tuned for more updates on what I've been doing.
