about me
I am a
DEVELOPER
I enjoy writing well designed code to solve difficult problems and to automate repetitive tasks I might have on my daily activities.
READER
I try my best to read the latest tech news. I can’t learn it all, but keeping track of what is available is a good start.
MANAGEMENT
To manage a team is a challenge. To manage a project is a challenge. To manage your day-to-day activities is a challenge. With the help of my colleges I overcame those challenges and I am learning to improve just a little more everyday.
PROBLEM SOLVER
To be focus on the solution rather than on the problem is a mindset one gain with experience and wit. I also love a good puzzle and I don’t mind being wrong every once in a while.

Hello world!
I decided to create this page to break the profissional tom just a little bit, so I will introduce myself in a more relaxed manner 🙂
My name is William Barbosa dos Santos and I’m from São Paulo, Brazil. For those who know São Paulo, I was born and raised in Ermelino Matarazzo and Itaquera. For those who don’t know São Paulo, I still have being born and raised in Ermelino Matarazzo and Itaquera.
I was around 10yo the first time I used a computer. I focused on improve my skills on Paint, skill that I still use by this day, now for sketch some windows for the systems I am responsible for.
When I was 16yo I was approved to study computing in a famous Brazilian technical school. My technical knowledge by then was pretty low, but the teachers were amazing and they gave me a profissional perspective I didn’t have.
On my first programming class the teacher made us write a program that would make a robot leave the room. We worked in pair, one of us was the robot, the other was the one giving the commands: stand up, turn 90 degrees to the left, walk X steps… It was the first program I have ever written, and it was enough for me to know that I would be doing that for the rest of my life.
All that occurred during the long gone year of 2008, and I indeed followed my aspiration and I have been working as a programmer since then. Evolving, step by step, I went through university, went abroad so I could learn English (or at least try to), went abroad again, but now to work in the USA … now I feel like I should give back to the world what I have so luckily received.
If some post of mine helps someone in some way, or if I can inspire just a single person to follow this so challenging career, I will know it was worthy to have paid the host for this site, have installed WordPress, have set up everything to run autonomously, and have written this message.
