The Golden Welcome
First day in Dubai. Walking through the iconic Gold Gate, everything felt surreal — 11 months ago I was writing my first lines of code in Brazil, and now I was stepping into a new world.

About Me
3+ years building solutions that make a difference
“My story doesn't start with code. It starts with the courage to change.”
From the Bakery to Code
Before writing my first line of code, I already had 5 years of experience — behind a bakery counter. I started young, grew fast, and was promoted to manager of one of the franchises. But something inside me said that wasn't the final destination.
The Leap of Faith
I quit my stable job and moved to a small town in the countryside of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The plan? Have time to study during the week while working as a freelance waiter on weekends and holidays. No safety net — just determination.
The First Attempt
I started studying programming and quit after 1 week. I thought it was too hard for me. So I changed course: I took a flight attendant certification. My dream was to use my languages — fluent English, basic Japanese, and intermediate Italian — to see the world. The dream destination? Dubai, working for Emirates.
The Unexpected Return
Certified and ready to work as a flight attendant, something pulled me back. I decided to give programming one more chance — and this time, I fell in love. I dove in headfirst and never looked back.
From LinkedIn to First Job
I started sharing my study journey on LinkedIn, helping others who were in the same situation. The posts gained visibility, and within a few months I landed my first fully remote job at a startup.
Purpose, Not Irony
Promoted in 6 months. Passed a selection process for Dubai before even completing 11 months of career. The country I always dreamed of working in as a flight attendant — was now my destination as a developer. Irony of fate? I don't think so. I think it was purpose.
And Now?
Here I am today. Continuously evolving and standing out in my field, serving international clients and delivering high-quality projects. Ready to learn and grow even more.
