About

With over 5 years of engineering experience, I can tag myself as a builder. With a Masters in Nanotechnology and Microelectronics, it took me a few years to understand that the easiest and fastest way to build is with a simple laptop 💻.

I am a Python Developer passionately dedicated to Data Science 📈, AI 🤖, and Web3 technologies 🌐. The change was progressive, early on, I was learning Python after my working hours, then the pandemic came, and I got more time to dive into it. Along the way, I landed a job that combined microelectronics and programming. And the time came, to enroll in a Data Science bootcamp that equipped me with the essential skills to excel as a developer. Shortly after, an opportunity arose to work as a Software Engineer in French Guiana. I packed up the essentials, and I flew to the Amazon rainforest to work as a Software Engineer at the European Spaceport.

Recently, life gave me the best gift, a beautiful daughter.

Now I'm a freelancer combining 50% Parenting 👨‍🍼 50% Python, Data Science, AI, and Web3 👨‍💻.

A true Dad Half Dev.
