Welcome to my personal page!

Before we continue, how about a brief and beautiful poem?

"Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never. Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea - let's do more of those!"

This is The Zen of Python.

About me

I'm an innovative technology professional with a good background in Python development and data engineering. With over 15 years in the Brazilian Army and diverse roles in technology, I specialize in Python programming, data analysis, and Linux systems. My career journey reflects a strong commitment to adaptability, continuous learning, and a passion for open-source technologies.

A brief history

I spent over 15 years - from 2007 to 2022 - in the Brazilian Army, where I learned the importance of being disciplined and resilient. In 2021, I started getting into Python programming and this adds to my eight years of working with SQL and LAMP servers and nearly eleven years of using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. All those soft and hard skills have really helped me in my studies and in my new career here in Canada. Since January 2022, I've been working hard as a web developer, Python engineer, and data engineer at PrintPro Digital in Winnipeg, MB. My time in the Army, along with my job experience and my new skills, has made me a reliable and hardworking person - I always do my best.
