Languages

Portuguese is my main language, however, as I grew up as a “tech/gamer kid”, English was part of my daily life, and learning it just came naturally.

Fast forward to January 2022, I got my first job that put my english skills to the test: I had to report the status of what I'm working on regularly to the international team through our Agile-based meetings. On top of that I also had to use english skills to ask questions to senior devs and product specialists.

Check out below my language abilities:

  • Portuguese (Native)
  • English (Fluent)
