Jonathan C. de Barros

After spending about 5 years studying and working in Accounting, I felt that I needed something more challenging and exciting for my life. And as I always has been a enthusiastic for technology, in 2013 I decided to start studying Computer Science, and that decision has driven me to great experiences.

I am working for almost an year as a Full-stack Developer based mainly in PHP, HTML, CSS and jQuery with Yii2 Framework at Elo Jurídico. Besides my course at UFAL (Universidade Federal de Alagoas), I had the chance of spending the years of 2014 and 2015 studying Software Engineering and Web Development at RIT - Rochester Institute of Technology in the USA as part of a international program called Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program which provides overseas scholarship to a selected group of students in Brazil.

Designing and producing software as a user-driven product is what I like most to do, always trying to achieve a clean and understandable code. Real-time applications, RESTful APIs, microservices and Mobile development are things that really interest me.

In my free time, I like outside activities, watching tv-shows (Game of Thrones FTW) and hanging out with friends and family.
