ABOUT

Self-taught. I built and maintain three production systems on my own, from problem to deployment, with tests, CI/CD and real infrastructure.

Between 2022 and 2026 I lived in Ireland, working as an operational supervisor at a convenience store chain for three years and studying two years of a BSc in Computer Science. My English came from immersion. My business domain knowledge came from real operations: till management, inventory, commissions, daily closing. That is why the systems I build are operational and financial management tools; I have been the user of this kind of software.

I am looking for a product role where software is the business: a team with an established code review practice and a codebase with history to learn from.
