Mywk ..is my nickname, a Portuguese living in Germany and currently working as a Software Engineer and Hardware Developer.

Learned programming by myself, started when I was 12 years old after finding a VisualBasic book buried in a basement. A few years later I completed a "Information Technology & Management Technician" certification and started working as a Freelancer. I studied four years at the University where I studied "Information Systems" and "Electronics & Computer Networking Engineering". More recently, in order to get better acquainted with the German language, I completed an "Applications Development Specialist" certification.

I'm still a freelancer as a programmer in my free time and previously tutored programming languages for around 10 years.

Hobbies? Mostly Electronics related, repairing small devices, creating little gadgets for house automation, embedded systems or anything I find interesting. I also used to spend some of my time creating plugins or developing for several different games.

I consider everything related to security of extreme interest, may it hardware or software related, both the how-to and the how to prevent it.

I'm a fast learner, I like challenges and always take my work very seriously. I feel extremely comfortable with either following direction or working independently. When possible I always try to achieve excellence, but then again, don't we all? 👍🏻
