Computer Science undergraduate at INTELI (Institute of Technology and Leadership) in São Paulo, Brazil. I'm building a strong foundation in backend and systems programming through structured study, practice projects, and open source contributions.
Languages & Learning
- Rust (working through The Rust Programming Language and real projects)
- Python and machine learning fundamentals
Active Contributions
- Community translator: Write an OS in Rust (Portuguese/BR)
- Author: The Xilem Book (unofficial community guide)
This GitHub documents my learning process. Projects here exist to help me understand concepts deeply, practice problem-solving, and build intuition for writing good code. Some are exercises from books, others are explorations of specific ideas or attempts to understand how tools work internally.
I focus on clarity and long-term understanding rather than rushing through topics. Most repositories reflect work in progress, not polished final products.
