About
I started programming at twelve, spending countless hours teaching myself. By fourteen I was working professionally as a software developer. I completed two years of secondary school in one, entering 42 Lisboa at seventeen - one of the world's top programming schools, selecting roughly 600 from over 30,000 applicants.
I was the youngest student throughout the entire course and the first in Portugal to complete it. Accepted through an intensive 26-day bootcamp, I built projects from scratch without teachers - from operating systems to 3D graphics engines.
