👋

Hello, I'm Pedro. I'm a full-stack developer with 20 years of experience. I enjoy building sites & apps. My focus is React (Next.js), Node.js with various databases.

About me

After graduating with a degree in Physics, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I took some night classes in programming and learned software development. Back when I learned it, there was no concept of full-stack vs front-end vs backend.. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB and any one of the many SQL databases. I started my career as a C#/.Net developer with SQL Server. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am learning Python and Generative AI.. I am currently looking for a freelance position as a software developer.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy the intracacies and complexities of playing poker and watching soccer on the weekends. I also enjoy learning new things such as art history, languages and European history.
