Hello World

27 April 2020

Hi, I’m a programmer born in Porto. During my childhood I had the opportunity to have contact with technology and that made me want to start developing software very early. The first code I wrote was HTML (still in the time of HTML 4) with 13 years old. I went after a schoolmate who made a website for my class and I remember getting curious and starting to try to find out more about making websites. At the time, I used a Magalhães 2 computer. Maybe that’s why I still prefer to work on small computers today.

Later, when I was 14 years old, I started studying PHP, because I wanted to make my sites more dynamic and after a short time I was responsible for maintaining the class website. Two years later I decided that I wanted to learn a lower level programming language in order to understand programming concepts more deeply. It was then that I started to study C. However, I had already discovered another passion: Linux! I met Ubuntu in 2012 and in that same year I abandoned Windows 8 to start using Ubuntu 12.04. Since then I have been increasing my knowledge both in programming and in linux operating systems. I currently use Windows 10 but I haven’t lost my connection to Linux systems. I don’t have a favorite, I use them all. Each one in the role that makes life easier for me. I currently work with Mulesoft (an integration platform built in Java), but I keep my personal projects in other technologies mainly PHP and Laravel.

My Setup

My setup is really simple. Basically it is my Asus Zenbook UM433A r7 ultrabook with an AMD Ryzen 3700U 16GB of DDR4 ram and a 500GB NVME SSD. In it I have Windows 10 Pro in the latest version and several virtual machines with Linux systems such as Ubuntu 20.04 (Desktop and Server), CentOS 7 and 8, RedHat Enterprise Linux and Fedora. My favorite code editor is Visual Studio Code and to do the versioning of the source code of my projects I use GIT assisted with Git Bash for Windows.
