Transitioning from a rich teaching background to the dynamic world of programming.

I started an Engineering Graduation 15 years ago, in 2009 at the Federal University of Campina Grande. A year later, I started teaching private French/English to earn some money. This eventually became my main activity. During my graduation, I interned on construction sites at JAR Construções Ltda (06/2013 - 07/2014) and then became a field supervisor at Concepto Ltda (06/2014 - 05/2016).

After that, I pursued a career as a teacher. I worked at language schools like Wizard (2016 - 2020), Effort Idiomas (2017), and Espaço Aberto (2019). Later, I became a Pedagogical Coordinator at HUGLE Education (01/2020 - 07/2021). Since then, I have been teaching English and French privately both online and on-site.

In 2023, I decided to return to studying and started an Online Graduation in Systems Analysis and Development at Faculdade Estácio. To get more practical experience, I also enrolled in a Full Stack Programming Course at Infinity School in Fortaleza. My goal is to fully transition to the programming area. Currently, I'm enrolled in a course at Alura where I aim to study everything about programming and design.

Over the past year, I've been working and studying diligently. I've learned languages like Python, HTML, CSS, and gained experience with frameworks like FLASK, Django, and databases like MySQL. I'm currently learning JavaScript and continuously expanding my knowledge. You can check out my projects on my GitHub account.
