I'm an iOS Engineer at Telus Digital Brazil (since Sept 2025) and a final-year Computer Engineering student at UFRGS, graduating in 2026.
I spent two years at the Apple Developer Academy (2023 & 2024), volunteered at the IDE/UFRGS junior enterprise (2022–2023) as a web developer and commercial team member, and did a research exchange in Stuttgart (2025) focused on data anonymization.
