I've been working and making a living as a back-end programmer for 5 years.

It all started because of a challenge I faced with a small online shop I used to run.
The question was: how could I sell to customers while I was asleep?

The shop was small, the profit minimal, but it was frustrating to wake up to messages from people wanting to buy things overnight. The available solution was a third-party system costing R$1,000.00 – money I simply didn't have. So, I began learning JavaScript, but honestly, I wasn't passionate about it, you know?

I switched to Python and really enjoyed studying that language.

Then, a great friend (who was also a customer at the time) started creating his own little shop too. With that, he helped me program, taught me what he knew, and I managed to significantly improve my own little shop.

After months studying Python, I realized I enjoyed programming much more than having that little shop, despite meeting many incredible people back then. So, instead of keeping the shop, I started selling my systems to other sellers, who were previously my competitors. I made money from it. I managed to help my family. After that, I worked for years as the programming sector lead at a huge airline miles company.

These days, I really enjoy programming in Go, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and others.

There's no story behind that username.
It's just a word, a visually beautiful word.
