A developer that loves creating digital products, front to back. Currently working on personal projects while finishing a course sponsored by XP Inc.
Who I am
Hi there! I'm Pedro Sousa. A fullstack developer with a little foot in design. My interest in code comes from the ability to solve anything with it. Back in 2012, I was hooked on Minecraft like any eleven year old at the time. My friends and I needed a fast local server to practice PvP on, so I went to YouTube and taught myself how to tinker with Java servers and plugins. In the end, the server surpassed 100 daily players and my puny hardware couldn't keep up. At least I learned a ton of English!
Fast forward to the end of 2021, I really wanted to create an app to showcase 3D CAD designs I was making for my mom. So I went back to YouTube and learned a ton of React Native! This time, I'm taking more than a few hours and thankfully got sponsored by XP Inc. to kickstart my full stack web development career at Trybe.
Since I had a little previous experience, I finished the year long course 9 months early to start working full time on personal projects like this one. Being an internet native, It's natural for me to always look for the latest and greatest learning resources around.
I can't fit all technologies I've been using recently, but here are some of the most relevant:
Was one of 300 chosen from 16000 applicants to join the XP sponsored class and later join the company as a full-stack engineer.
Learned a lot about the fundamentals of web development, from the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to the more advanced topics of Algorithms and Data Structures.
Completed small exercises to large projects using a vast array of technologies and frameworks, including React, NodeJS, Express, MongoDB, Relational Databases and more.
Collaborated with a diverse set of classmates and mentors to build full stack web applications. Occasionaly volunteering to help other students with their own projects.
