From Internship to IT Developer
How practical experience, technical education, and curiosity helped me move from internships into a full-time development role.

My path into technology has combined software development with hands-on experience in hardware, networks, and real operational environments.
In 2022, I completed an internship at Motometria, where I dismantled and recycled electronic equipment including computers, printers, televisions, and self-service machines. That experience gave me a practical understanding of how technology works beyond the screen.
I later completed secondary education in Management and Programming of Information Systems at Dr. Manuel Gomes de Almeida, focusing on programming, computer architecture, and networks.
In February 2024, I joined Solverde Casinos & Hotéis as an intern. I worked on smaller projects using PHP, HTML, and CSS while also supporting computer and network-device maintenance. In July 2024, I moved into a full-time IT Developer role.
Each stage added a different layer to the way I work today: curiosity about systems, respect for real-world constraints, and the confidence to keep learning while delivering useful software.
