Hey yo, I’m Carlos

I’m a 29-year-old computer programmer from Brasilia, Brazil. I’ve worked with back-end, distributed systems, devops, and data infrastructure projects over the past years.

Yeah, I was that weird kid that liked to mess around on a Win98 machine that my parents had. And I also was an edgy teenager data hoarding the internet while learning Bash and C in a 12.04 Ubuntu box — until I graduated in college and this hobby of mine got out of hand as I became a full-time computer programmer and software designer.

I’m also neurodivergent, autistic with ADHD, and I’m willing to share my life’s experience and outlook.

Fun facts

• As of today, I have six years of hands-on professional experience in formal roles, excluding internships — otherwise, I’d count as 10 years in total;

• I usually stand on pragmatism… but I must admit: I’m biased towards performant tools;

• I don’t want to follow the management path. I’m only interested in technical roles — however, I do like to design solutions while understanding the stakeholders’ needs;

• I worked on a few open source projects, being CPython and Kubernetes the main ones that I contributed to, and some pet projects of mine;

• I value: self-respect and respect for others; Diversity on individual level; Curiosity — as this is paramount in our craft; Have fun — otherwise, how can any of this be sustainable?

What’s are the How-tos?

These are some sort of tutorials that I want to keep if I ever need to reference. Maybe they might be useful to you as well.
