About

I'm an Accounting Analyst with a strong interest in software engineering and business process automation.

Most of my projects originate from real challenges I've encountered in my daily work, where I design tools to eliminate repetitive tasks, improve reliability and optimize workflows.

I'm currently pursuing a degree in Software Development while expanding my knowledge in Linux, Docker, software architecture and artificial intelligence.

I enjoy building software that solves practical problems and documenting everything I learn throughout the process.
