Rodrigo's Website

Who is Rodrigo?

I am a software developer from Brazil living in Dublin with focus on the frontend.

My first contact with programming was with Flash. I used to look for flash animations and games online, and one day I found a game that was actually a tutorial on how to make games. I used to think that programming was this incredibly boring thing, but when I gave it a shot, I actually liked it a lot. That is when I decided to go to college to study computer science.

I was introduced to C in college. This language taught me how things work under the hood and how to write fast programs, but not how to write programs fast. To compensate, I started to learn other languages like Python that I used in my internship.

After graduation, I decided to work with the front-end. JavaScript has its problems, but It is a high-level language that allows me to create visual software fast. It appeals to things that got me into programming in the first place. It allows me to easily create something that everybody can use.
