First of all I'm a life lover. The main thing that I like in my life is the possibility to be better than myself, to be better than I was yesterday.

So, I begin my working life studying Information Technology as part as my high school level. Then, I begin to work at a company called 2XT where I became the CTO 2 years later.

During the next 4 years, I got my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais. At this time I worked in several kinds of projects. I highlight three of them:

  1. CMS: I worked in the basis of this system that was used by the biggest newspaper in my province, with more then 30 milions of views/month. It was very important to work in scalability and performance;
  2. B2B2C Tourism E-commerce: I developed the architecture of this system and I managed an agile team using Scrum + XP. It was an awesome experience to learn how to deal with people, deadlines, and how to be agile, besides a very big improvement in my hability to deal with a big and complex code base.
  3. Bitquestion.com: It was my first startup. We worked on the bitcoin wave but our idea was unsuccessful. In that I learned so much about the lack of market research and the importance of pivoting at the right time.

I'm a entrepeneurship lover, I need that in my worklife.

Nowadays I'm getting my Master's degree in Computer Science and I'm doing a research together with industry with the objective to create another business.
