I started working as a web developer in 2011 when, inspired by my cousin, I took an online PHP + MySQL course at lynda.com and got a job at a marketing agency. Since then I never stopped developing, been indicated by ex coworkers to take jobs in other companies that were mostly marketing agencies.

I went to college from 2010 to 2015 and became a bachelor in Information Systems at PUC Minas. Althought I learned many programming concepts at my college course, most of my web development knowledge are self taught and came from practice.

As course's conclusion paper (and inspired by one of my clients), I made a research about search engine optimization (SEO) and it's best practices' effectiveness on a website's position in search results. I found out minor changes can highly impact the ranking, so I incorporated them to my daily work. Since then I became interested on this matter.

My experience at marketing agencies involved a lot of customization and integration with content management systems (CMS) such as Wordpress and others custom made by the agency. In order to make it faster to customize, I started a personal project to develop my own CMS, that would be simple and easy to use, so I could integrate it in my freelancer projects.

I'm currently working with Angular 7 and Laravel 5 on a private system. I share my free time between personal projects, gaming, exercising and, eventually, freelancer projects.
