From technology to military discipline, a unique path to development.
14 years old | Brazil
While most 14-year-olds were only worried about school and fun, I was already spending hours taking apart computers to understand how they worked. I got my first job at a neighborhood LAN house, where I started repairing machines that crashed in the middle of Counter-Strike matches.
It was there, among network cables, burned motherboards, and impatient customers, that I discovered my calling: solving technical problems gave me a satisfaction that no other activity provided. Each recovered computer was a small victory. I worked in this field from 14 to 18, building a solid foundation of hardware and networking knowledge that I carry to this day.
18 years old | Brazilian Armed Forces
At 18, I made a decision that would change my life: joining the Brazilian armed forces. The first year was in the combat squadron - an intense experience that tested all my physical and mental limits.
Waking up at 4 AM, exhausting training, tactical exercises under scorching sun or torrential rain. I learned that the mind gives up long before the body, and that teamwork is not optional when lives depend on it. In the second year, I was assigned to the barracks' IT cell. It was a perfect bridge between my two passions: military discipline and technology. I repaired computers, managed Linux systems, installed printers via terminal - skills that few soldiers had.
Anhanguera University | Systems Analysis
Even with the intense routine of military life, I knew I needed a solid academic background in technology. I started my degree in Systems Analysis and Development, determined to balance both worlds.
It wasn't easy. I studied during breaks, on days off, late into the night. While fellow soldiers rested, I was poring over algorithms, databases, and programming logic. This experience taught me real time management - not the theory from productivity books, but the practice of someone who had no choice but to make it work.
France | Légion Étrangère
In 2017, I made the boldest decision of my life: leaving Brazil and joining the legendary Légion Étrangère - the French Foreign Legion. One of the most rigorous and respected military forces in the world.
The selection process is brutal: out of hundreds of candidates, only a fraction is accepted. I arrived in France without speaking French, without knowing anyone, only with the conviction that I wanted to test my limits. The Legion taught me that we are capable of much more than we imagine. I lived with people from over 50 nationalities, learned to communicate beyond words, to solve problems when there's no instruction manual.
France | Rocketseat Bootcamps
After years dedicated to military career, in 2020 I decided to return to my original passion: programming. The world had changed - React, Node.js, TypeScript were the new standards. I needed to completely update myself.
I dove headfirst into Rocketseat bootcamps. It was months of intense study: waking up early, studying before work, continuing at night. The military discipline I had developed was my greatest ally. While many dropped out mid-course, I treated each module as a mission to be accomplished.
Freelancer | Global Clients
In 2021, I took the most important step: I started working as a freelance developer. It wasn't easy to get the first clients - after all, I had technical knowledge but zero professional portfolio.
I started accepting small projects, sometimes for below-market rates, just to build real experience. The advantage of being a freelancer is that you're forced to master the entire stack - there's no colleague to delegate to. From design in Figma to deploy on AWS, I did everything. This made me a complete developer.
Amiltone | IT Consultant
In 2024, I joined Amiltone as an IT Consultant. This consulting model allows me to work on diverse missions at major French companies, constantly enriching my expertise.
Each mission is an opportunity to learn new technologies, methodologies, and corporate cultures. My unconventional path became my differential: military discipline to meet deadlines, the Legion's adaptability to quickly integrate into any team, and the freelancer mindset to deliver with autonomy.

Beyond the lines of code, there's a whole life that defines me. I'm the father of an amazing son and husband to a wife who supports me in every decision - my family is my most important project and my greatest motivation to grow every day.
The discipline I bring to work comes from my years in the military: waking up early, staying focused, and never giving up in the face of obstacles. This mindset shaped who I am today, both as a professional and as a person.
In my free time, you'll find me planning the next family trip, playing video games to unwind, or... coding yet another personal project. I confess: when you love what you do, the line between work and hobby disappears.
Family, focus, and code. That's what drives me.
I'm available for new projects and opportunities.
