Cover Letter

I'm a frontend engineer (so far) that started in tech by mysterious ways. I was applying for a bachelor's in Psychology and my second choice was Computer Science. Somehow, the Science chose me (kinda like the Sorting Hat). I was the only female in the class, and I thought that was outrageous. By the time my class graduated, there were only two of us—and here I am now.

Challenges come and go, and it's up to us to make them a big deal. I fell in love with frontend development with my first job, which led to my real first role. I started working with Angular the day it turned 2 (Angular 2+), and it was a whole new world to my simple knowledge of JavaScript.

Since then, I've had the chance to work with all the major frameworks, and it has been amazing: Vue, React, and Angular.

Ever since, I have made it a priority to stay updated with what's happening in our magical world of frameworks. I'm always looking for ways to innovate and disrupt the status quo of big companies. I consider myself a friendly and talkative person, pursuing a path toward management responsibilities while still holding onto my love for good code and minimal design.

There was a time I tried to maintain open-source code, and it was fun (for about 10 minutes). Then, I felt like I had two jobs. Sometimes, I enjoy creating small systems to fit my tiny needs and try to learn a new concept every day. This keeps me updated and fueled with caffeine. (I never said I finished any of those…)

In my previous roles, I have consistently shown an ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, developing and maintaining custom components and design systems. I'm very comfortable working in an Agile environment, even with some changes along the way. The way I reinvented myself was always with my colleagues, learning from them and making adjustments for myself. I'm not the best at anything, but I'll try my best. I'm here to learn. (And maybe there... who knows?)

Besides my tech skills, I enjoy building strong relationships with team members and stakeholders. I believe that effective communication and collaboration are essential to any successful product. I'm always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone is aligned. The ideal workplace for me would provide both the necessary freedom and a conducive environment. I strive to find myself in the right place at the right moment.

For my personal life, I live in Brazil, and I'm married to a super-duper-smart Pediatrician. I have a baby named Mia and a dog called #FFF (just kidding, her name is White in Portuguese). In my free time, I'm always at the gym, and my favorite foods are ice cream and pizza, no matter the situation. I'm a Kindle addict and love electronic music. In another life, I'd definitely be a DJ.

Thanks for getting to know me.
