I'm a Brazilian software engineer currently living in Germany. Since I got a SNES as a gift from my parents, I've developed a passion for video games and technology that made me pursue a software engineering career after high school. I'm a Rubyist by heart, but I'm also interested in JavaScript, Elixir, and the Godot game engine, which uses a Python-like programming language called GDScript. Feel free to check my LinkedIn to see what I'm doing nowadays!
