Long bio
Everything started when I was 14 years old and wanted to create a website but didn't know how.In that journey, I found a platform called [Blogger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger_(service) and I quickly noticed that this blogging service has a sort of template code configuration. I realise that the code has some links to the images used in the theme of the blog, so I started replacing such links with other link images. Eventually, I was modifying the CSS without knowing that it was CSS.During the next 2 years, I also learned by myself some Visual Basic, Flash, and some C++ from school.I joined Systems Engineering at the university mostly following my friends because at that time I thought I could learn coding just on the internet, and maybe I should try another career more design related since it was something that I was exploring at that time as well. I learned many important things at the university but it was until I took an extra summer course that I really get into the web. In that program, I learned PHP, MySQL, jQuery, and some CSS.My first few jobs were coding mostly in JAVA, but little by little my heart fall in love with JavaScript, and after joining a JS Conf and discovering Node.js I decided to focus on JavaScript to create products.It will continue...
