Biografia:

After my father started a Visual Basic 6 application I decided that I wanted to create apps. I started with a simple keystroker to help me with an MMO game so I could collect loot while I was sleeping.
After 2 years, I went to college and also started my career. I was accepted as an intern in a company developing an ERP system using Visual Basic 6, there I learned about SQL, OOP and a bit about tests and agile. One fine day, a coworker presented PHP to me and I was fascinated - I couldn't believe that it was possible to create websites using Windows Notepad. After that, I bought a PHP & MySQL book installed WAMP in my machine and dived into web development.
After some bad experiences in companies using PHP I finally found a good position in an e-commerce startup. The team was amazing and I learned a lot about OOP, Agile and TDD (which I since advocate for). In the same period, I started to go to events to learn more and eventually gave some talks too.
But in 2016, when Tripda was closed, I decided that was time to abandon PHP and search for new things using another language. I was hired as a Ruby developer in Glio and fell in love with Ruby and I'm happily using it since then.
