Experience & Education

My academic background and professional journey in technology and software development.

Apple Developer Academy

(2024 – 2025)

Selected for the two-year Apple Developer Academy program at Instituto Eldorado, a Challenge-Based Learning environment focused on solving real-world problems through technology.

Developed 8 end-to-end apps for Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS) using Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, SpriteKit, and CoreML — with 5 apps published on the App Store. Collaborated in cross-functional teams with designers and developers using Git and Scrum, contributing across the full product lifecycle from ideation to release.

More importantly, the experience shaped a mindset of curiosity and independent learning: asking the right questions, exploring solutions autonomously, and building meaningful user-centered products.

@ Instituto Eldorado, Brazil Swift SwiftUI Apple Ecosystem Product Lifecycle

B.Sc. in Computer Science

(2020 – 2026)

Earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from IU - International University of Applied Sciences, Germany.

Built a strong foundation in core computer science disciplines including algorithms, data structures, mathematics, computer architecture, and networking. Additional coursework included software requirements, project management, Internet of Things, and design — complementing practical development experience with solid theoretical foundations.

@ IU, Germany Online Program Algorithms Data Structures Software Engineering

B.Sc. in Dentistry

(2011 – 2017)

Earned a Bachelor’s degree in Dentistry from the State University of Amazonas (Brazil), where I developed a strong scientific and analytical mindset through academic research, clinical practice, and public health initiatives.

Working directly with patients strengthened skills that continue to shape my work in technology: active listening, clear communication, attention to detail, and structured problem-solving. The experience also involved research writing, public presentations, and investigating root causes to propose effective solutions — abilities that naturally translate into building thoughtful, user-centered software.
