I am currently working "with my head in the clouds" in a Java Development + DevOps hybrid-format team. We are responsible for provisioning the cloud infrastructure and utility services for one of the biggest Payment Gateways on the market. Why not, we're also using our developed utilities to implement our own microservices and AWS workflows.

I always enjoyed stories. We learn our moral values and do-s and don't-s through the deeds of our characters. Why shouldn't we use that in schools? I'm teaching Testing and Parallel and Distributed Programming through the adventures of a group of prehistoric Stone++ developers that are trying to implement and test the first car in history.

The weather was breezy, life was easy and we were just discovering what the transition from University to the Field of Work has to bring. Thanks to our mentors, we had the chance to experiment with technologies that we have never touched before and use them to develop a payments application for generic products.

I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science Education, which feels like the perfect blend of all my passions: education, technology, interactive learning, presentations, and even a bit of drawing! I believe learning should be accessible, engaging, and fun, so I’m on a mission to craft creative educational experiences that spark curiosity and make complex concepts click.

I pursued a Master’s degree in Software Engineering to deepen my understanding of IT project development, focusing on the entire project lifecycle, ways of working, and effective organization. This journey helped me craft more mature and well-rounded tech solutions. My final showcase project was Must-Ar-Do, an innovative application that reimagines presentations by blending PowerPoint-like functionality with augmented and virtual reality, enabling dynamic and multimodal learning experiences. This experience reinforced my passion for combining technology and creativity to build impactful solutions.

When I first started my Bachelor's in Computer Science, I thought programming was just about sorting algorithms like Bubble Sort in C++. Little did I know, it was a gateway to endless creativity and innovation. I quickly realized that behind the lines of code were powerful tools for bringing great ideas to life. My journey was fueled by sleepless study nights, collaborative study groups, and thrilling hackathons — all of which deepened my passion for technology and its limitless potential.

I completed my high school studies in Social Sciences, a rich blend of literature, philology, psychology, philosophy, and history. It was the perfect environment to nurture my love for writing and creative expression. During those years, I wrote and performed in theater plays, participated in various volunteering initiatives, and joined after-school clubs that fueled both my creativity and passion for community engagement. High school wasn’t just about learning; it was about discovering the power of stories and human connection.
