About me

Hi, I’m Rodrigo! I love solving problems and working with people.I became a developer because I was seeking a challenging career where I could learn something new every day and make a meaningful impact. My background in retail and warehouse work taught me valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, and customer service, which I now apply to my development work. However, from working in those jobs I realized that it was not going to be the best for me in the future and I wasn't getting challenged anymore; so change was needed. During my exploration, I came across software development. Specifically Back end engineering which caught my attention due to the fact I would learn something every day and be able to make a great impact. I desire to join a team where I am able to contribute to the success of the team, while still learning and collaborating with the talented individuals on the team.
