A hard-working, highly motivated 23-year old Portuguese full stack .NET developer who moved to Sweden to pursue a career in development.

My approach to development: Perfectionism on the UI/UX to meet the client's requirements and rigorous implementation of the back end, while using best practices to facilitate workflow and be time effective (clear documentation, lots of testing)

Experience

Salt

Full Stack .NET Developer

From over 1500 applicants, I was one of ~30 students selected to partake in a high paced and very intensive Full Stack .NET Developer program. The training emphasizes applied learning through Mob Programming, Agile work methods and consists of 500 coding hours with weekly demos and coding tests that are necessary to pass in order to graduate. After Graduating I was employed by Salt as a consultant, some of the responsibilities include:

  • Improving my developer skillset
  • Learning new tools and languages
  • Continue focusing on Agile Methodology (mob programming)

Random Movie Generator 2.0

Front end: React
Back end: ASP.net WebApi, MySQL Database

This was a project made for the individual hackday in the Salt´s Program where we were asked to use dotnet web API for backend and React for frontend, and store the information in a MySQL database. This was done in ≈ 10 hours and it´s a Random Movie Generator that chooses a random movie out of the catalog (the catalog is information stored in the database) and you can add your movie to the catalog(database) using the Add feature.

● Apart from being a developer, I mostly spend my time with friends and family. I also love travelling, exploring new places and meeting new people.

● I love sports, and try to stay active as much as possible. I have been playing football at a high level for my entire life (most recently in the portuguese national university league) ,and try to play other sports as often as I can .

● When at home, I spend my time mostly just playing games on my PC, watching movies/TV shows or following e-sports events.

● I always try to keep updated on current events, and love to learn new things through Wikipedia/Reddit/Youtube.
