Shop floor, 2013–2021
Eight years and eight months in industrial operations, assembling products. It is not a résumé line that needs explaining: it is what gave me a concrete sense of how an operation works from the inside. See Industrial monitoring.
Getting into technology, 2021–2022
Nine months of help desk: support for internal systems, database assistance, infrastructure requests. It was the way in, and where I got to know the landscape from the side of those who depend on it.
Engineering, 2022 to today
The scope grew in three steps: from features, to whole services with backend and frontend, to platform and standards that other teams consume.
The third step is where I am today. A good part of what I built has stayed under my hands for three years or more, and part of it became libraries that other teams install. The signal I care about is not how many systems I wrote, it is how many remained worth maintaining.
Outside work, I write and maintain 5 public .NET libraries: PMQ Suite.
Education
- UNINTER: Technologist degree (Tecnólogo) in Systems Analysis and Development
- UNIFAEL: Postgraduate specialization (Lato Sensu) in Web Development
Six certifications between October 2021 and December 2022, concentrated in the career transition: C# and object orientation, Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core and multi-stack training.
What this path gives
The decade inside operations before engineering. It did not give me the rules of any system I went on to build later, but it gave me the habit of looking at a system from the side of whoever will use it in the middle of a shift.
