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.

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 8 years of hands-on professional experience in formal roles, excluding internships — otherwise, I’d count as 11 years in total;

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

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

• 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?

• Apart from LinkedIn for professional purposes, I do not own social media profiles. I used to, but nowadays, social media platforms are no longer following their intended purpose to let people connect with each other. Rather, it’s actively being weaponized to separate, control, and sell our data to the highest bidder.

What’s are the notes?

These are some of my notes that I want to keep. Maybe they might be useful to you as they’d work as some sort of cheatsheets.
