Software Engineer

FOCUS HQ

My first professional experience in Australia occurred while I was studying full-time. Time management was essential for successfully navigating my first year at Focus HQ. I worked as part of a team of five experienced software engineers from four different countries, tackling a wide range of tasks, including the development of new features, cloud management using AWS, migrating from AngularJS to ReactJS, upgrading from Python 2 to Python 3, enhancing security, optimizing response times, automating manual tasks, solving bugs and more. This experience allowed me to solidify the knowledge I had gained in both academia and the industry.

WEHI - Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research

My biggest professional challenge took me out of my comfort zone after working for years in consulting. I migrated to Australia to pursue my Master's studies and joined WeHi, the oldest medical research institute in the country, which has over 1,400 staff members, 90 laboratories, and over 470 active patents. There, I collaborated with software engineering researchers, bioinformatics experts, and biologists to build an automated benchmarking tool designed to measure the computational resources required for analyzing scientific experiment data.

ROMANO

It was time to make some changes in my life! After working with countless technologies, I decided to choose a clear path that brought me the passion and fulfillment that many writers and mentors discussed. I pushed myself to leverage all my telecommunications experience and apply it to this new direction. It felt like a refreshing new start, and I enjoyed it so much. This phase got me up and running for my Masters Studies. I began developing software with great passion, a cup of coffee, and lo-fi music.
