Professional Experience
Full-stack Developer
MedihiveAt Medihive, I work mostly with Ruby on Rails. We are a cross-functional team, with a focus on delivering the best possible product to our clients. I do work on the company's internal tools, such as the admin panel and doctor panels, as well as the client-facing website. I am full-stack, so I also work on the front-end, using mostly ERB and some React in small projects. I've been gradually increasing my responsibilities in the company, as well as owning and developing features.
Ruby on Rails Developer
BitZestyAs a Full-Stack Software Developer at BitZesty, I've had the opportunity to work fully remotely in Ruby on Rails on a cross-functional team. Here I worked on several projects with different ruby and rails versions, trying to find the best budget conscious solution for clients.
Full-stack Developer
Landing.jobsAt Landing.Jobs, I worked my way up from Junior to Mid-Level Software Developer in under a year. I had the opportunity to work with Ruby on Rails, React, Typescript, GraphQL and CSS. This was my first developing job and I was able to apply my skills in a real-world setting, contributing to the company's success.
Technology Trainee
Accenture PortugalAt Accenture, I mainly worked with VBA and a Customer Care & Billing software, in Java. It was my first experience with any of these languages, which I acquired reasonably quickly at a basic level.
Junior Consultant
WeDo TechnologiesDuring my tenure at WeDo Technologies (now Mobileum), I worked with their proprietary software 'RAID'. This is a logic based development software. I had the chance to work in a very small team and work a bit with unix, VMs and JavaScript.
