Systems · Networks · Development

Technology with context, experience and practical purpose.

My journey in computing began with programming and design, later evolving towards systems, networks and web development — areas that now complement one another in how I analyse problems and build solutions.

About me

A journey of continuous development

My interest in computing began at the age of 12, when I first used a Spectrum and discovered BASIC. Later, during secondary school, I turned that interest into structured training through a vocational technical course in Management Information Systems.

Over the years, I have worked in programming applied to business management, IT support, infrastructure, design, multimedia, website creation and Artificial Intelligence.

This progression has helped me approach each problem with technical awareness, while remaining clear and practical.

In 2025, I completed a technological specialisation course in Computer Network and Systems Management. I am currently continuing to deepen my frontend development skills with React and applying what I learn to my own projects.

“There is always room for knowledge.”
