History After finding a hole in the company website after 2 months of joining as a System Administrator, I had the possibility to change from my role into my passion: software development. That's 17 years ago. From that moment onward, I learnt more languages (C, PHP, and amongst others my biggest love Ruby). Working with databases (most notable: MySQL / MariaDB, PostgreSQL), containerization, ops (using Terraform on AWS, GCP mostly). 6 years ago I discovered I am best suited to help my colleagues grow, and turned into a Rails/Ruby/database/Javascript/HTML teacher at a bootcamp, became a (part time) engineering manager. I've been implementing in Ruby/Rails for 50% of my time for the last 2 years, the rest leading teams and advising C suite execs. My main addition to any team is improving morale, by coaching and helping to build quality software, focusing on metrics for both errors and processing time, helping engineers of any experience level grow, and - as an individual contributor, but also as a leader - to only use complex solutions if the problem domain warrants it. Most recently I'm switching towards building my own company that aims to reduce energy consumption and CO2 footprint for households. Tiny (IOT) devices, programming in C and C++, and clearly building the required backend in a microlith (monoservice?) Rails application. Well connected: Apart from that, I am one of the organizers of Ruby NL, for which I've been hosting EuRuKo (2019), NoRuKu (2020), and monthly community events of Amsterdam Ruby organisation amsrb.org.

Ruby on Rails Full-stack web developer

Hello, I'm 30 years old. I'm living in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil with my mother. I have a degree in Civil Engineering. During the course, I did an Engineering internship where I piloted the company's drone. Then, I had the opportunity to go on an exchange program in the United States for 6 months to improve my English. Arriving back in Brazil, I moved to another state to work as a planning analyst. At the beginning of last year, I decided that I wanted to change my life, so I took a Web Development full stack course in Ruby on Rails at Le Wagon. During the course, I learned several tools such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL and Ruby on Rails, but I also learned how to work in a group, dividing tasks and, mainly, asking questions when necessary. It was an intense course in which I pushed my limits to overcome the Programming barriers. At the end of the course, I was invited by the manager to be part of Le Wagon's Ruby on Rails teaching team. I was very excited about this opportunity, as I was the only student to have this privilege. I started working as a teacher in the following month, giving some classes, helping students with their questions regarding the challenges, and at the end, supporting the students' final projects, which is to develop a complete website in Rails. 5 months later, I joined the team of teachers at Le Wagon Amsterdam. It was a unique experience working with people from different cultures and different accents, but, in the end, I was highly praised by everyone. Today I am looking for a job within a company where I can grow not only professionally, but also personally, a place that challenges me with new projects that will make me leave my comfort zone, because right now, as a teacher, I am reviewing a lot of concepts. I want to really explore the entire realm of Programming. I hope I can talk a little more about myself soon. Thank you so much.
