About me

I'm a business owner and HR specialist turned software developer who loves to get to know people and their stories to help them find creative solutions to their most pressing issues. Not only I'm curious by nature but with my skills of adaptability, initiative and problem solving I can really make a difference on your software development team.

As I transition into software development, I'm excited to bring my love for details, colors, UI/UX and languages from Portuguese, Spanish and English into my new position in the tech industry. By utilizing and searching for the most efficient tools, like GitHub projects, I’m able to establish strong team communication and collaboration to bring mock-ups to life!

If you catch me outside of work, I'm an animal lover, a healthy cook with a flair for Brazilian/italian cuisine - singing and dancing my way through life.
