Hi. I'm Fernando Santini, current student of Data Analicts degree.
But also have hobbies and do activities like: Cycling; Exercising at the gym; Read books, articlesin general; Playing video games and board games;

Like some people I know and some stories around the world, I'm going back and forth in the technology field. I've started in the area under the influence of my mother, who was a programmer in the 80s until the early 90s; In college I've attended a Technician, where I've had the opportunity to learn a little about hardware, networks and programming; A few years later I've started the Computer Engineering college - where I've attended for 3 years, but I've ended up changing courses and focused on working as a freelance technical support - I've acted as such, whenever I've needed and or where I've could in small jobs in the area of technical support and development or as a seller.


So I've decided to study Computer Science, having discovered that I like communities such as open source and research; Since I met Linux distros in the technician I have been active in help forums about linux and servers. For a few months I've been trying to acquire more development skills, participating in events, studying online courses, participating in Hackathons and participating in workshops like SemanaOmniStack (by the Yt channel Roecketseat) that took place online - workshops that sparked my interest in learning about React, react -native, JS and about other technologies that are on the market .

- An interesting professional experience I've got was during my internship at FCCR -Nov/2013 -Nov/2015- where I've the opportunity to participate in the Public Consultation project, which I could develop with whatever technologies I've interested, the project consisted of showing an excerpt of a bill of the municipality to the citizens, so that he could give his opinion through a send-mail or a chat; It was a great experience where I could see from the step of upload necessary services on the server, configure it and deploy it;

- Another interesting experience was participating in a Hackathon -Jul/2017 - Quero Educação(an education platform to genarate tickets of discount for students pay less in private graduation); The theme of the event was communication; So me, my cousin and another colleague created the idea with the title: TALKI, the project came from the idea that sometimes at events people feel embarrassed, or the excessive number of questions makes communication with the speaker difficult, so we created a system that the person logs in via twitter and/or linkedin and can put the question in a queued chat directly to the speaker; It was a great experience to have time to produce idea, slides and code;

- In 2020 I've been changing my focus in the IT area, where I found interest, Devops or related area and it's been another challenge always studying new stacks and being part of new communyties.

- In 2026 I've been changing a little bit of study focus, where I found being pushed to learn more about Python and the the skills related like, backend dev, IA dev and data analitcs to add those skills in my carreer; So I and my friend Leonardo, created a blog to write about our learns about Python as a main subject, but also about all cycle, design and architecture of development.
