Introduction
Pedro brings diverse technical experience across multiple domains, with a strong foundation in engineering principles and a proven track record in full-stack development.
Following graduation, Pedro applied his technical skills in production and manufacturing environments before transitioning to software development. He subsequently specialized in building both backend and frontend components for user-facing interfaces, progressing into full-stack development for desktop applications with 2D and 3D interface capabilities.
He’s quite flexible and adapts quickly to any tool that get’s the job well done. He’s stoic in his way of working, and is not afraid of the effort behind any task, as long as he believes the goal. While working, he likes to keep in mind how the final product is to be accepted and adopted by the final users.
