Joao Victor KdoukSoftware & Computer EngineerI develop maintainable and reliable systems with special care to usability, user-experience, and customer satisfaction. Anything is possible when you love what you do.
Who am I?
In 2014, I wrote my first line of code. It started as a hobby, creating applications to automate my school homework. Soon enough, programming became my life, spending tens of hours every week solving complex problems through the wonderful world of code. Throughout the years, I had the opportunity to write complex systems for large companies, startups, open-source initiatives, and university-wide projects.
On December 2024, I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology as a Computer Engineer. While my major was focused on the Hardware side of computing, throughout my career I developed a passion for both Computer and Software Engineering, developing reliable, performant and intuitive software products that meet every user's demands. Currently, I am a Backend Engineer for an Atlanta-based company called Nebo Agency, performing performance improvements, infrastructure design, and feature development for retainer projects using Ruby-on-Rails and Node.js.
When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my family, listen to music (American Pop and Rock), collect and repair retro gaming consoles, and tame Pokémons in the vast region of Hoenn.
