In the age of information technology and thanks to the advancements of the internet, anyone can become self-educated and continuously learn in a field that piques their interest. This is a great opportunity that we can take advantage of today. I am a naturally curious individual. Since my early childhood, I was captivated by the process of creating new toys with my Lego blocks. It's truly eye-opening how a simple toy can reshape one's perspective on how things work. Later, this sparked curiosity led me to engage with computer hardware at the age of 16 when I started learning the basics of electronic mobile devices and component soldering in a technical course at Artur Alvin station in São Paulo. At that time, I didn't have a car, so I had to wake up at 5:50 AM to take a bus (and a subway) to arrive at the course on time. Life wasn't easy.

Nonetheless, nothing could stop me from continuously advancing and building my career. After school, I began working in a technical assistance department in Penha-Guarulhos (SP). In this job, I had to deal directly with customers and repair their mobile devices. Sometimes there were unusual cases, like when a client wanted to unlock her husband's cell phone just to find out if he was cheating on her. Life was getting interesting (laughs).

Times have changed, and I started to become more mature and began my bachelor's course at UTFPR. Missing my family and friends yelled out loud. I was living 23 hours away from home by bus. But it was worth it. Besides the great course, I met new people and started to enjoy electronic music and attend festivals (at that time, I didn't know I would become a DJ for a while).

However, my interest in various fields, such as music, led me to start studying guitar chords and electronic music composition. My playlist was a mix of Daft Punk with Pink Floyd (quite eclectic, right?). Due to this, my bachelor's thesis aimed to recognize guitar chords for scale generation using some artificial intelligence (please don't ask me if TensorFlow existed at that time). After going through a selection process, I managed to go to Europe and started my double degree at both universities. Thus, my master's thesis focused on the HoloLens device was born. This opened doors for me later on. Working with Magic Leap and living in Amsterdam was a dream, and I achieved it with the Erasmus program.

Currently, I live in São Paulo and finally near my family. Now, I am open to new opportunities and experiences in life. Thank you for reading a short part of my life. Because life goes on!
