Paulo Pinto (he/him)
A Software Developer doing DevOps in the Netherlands
Born and raised in Portugal, I am a DevOps Engineer at Xccelerated/ASML. Python, Data Structures and version control are the areas that I'm interested in the most, so it's no secret that few things get me as excited as solving a coding puzzle and uploading my solve to my github account. Outside the tech sphere I'm mobilised in the wide social movement, helping bring awareness to struggles like climate change and LGBT+ rights.
I have a Bachelor's Degree and Vocational Training in the IT domain
ULHT in Lisboa - 19/22
My knowledge consolidation. Here I got to revise and built upon previous knowledge while experiencing new technologies. I fell in love with Python and Linux, learned how to use MVC/MVVM with Flutter/Android and realised that C is not for me. The university lifestyle allowed me to do some much needed self-improvement and, through contact with my teachers and peers, to get a better understanding of the IT market and general developer way of thinking.
Escola Digital in Lisboa - 16/19
My introduction to the IT industry. This is where I first learned about topics such as OOP, Computer Networks, Web Dev, Arduino among many others. This Vocational Course had a work experience component composed of 600 hours split between 3 different internships, one of them in Tralee, Ireland, thanks to the Erasmus+ programme. In these internships I was introduced to different work environments and their best practises, while honing my tech skills.
I have participated in three internships during my academic endeavours
Hospital Garcia de Orta - 3 months
From May/19 to Jul/19, I was an intern at this Hospital's IT team. The team taught me how to work with the Hospital's equipment (fixing/replacing externals like printers), computer networks (managing IP routes), user groups and policies. Working with a lot of co-workers made me get a better grasp at interpersonal relationships and general communication skills.
Mobility Genie - 1 month
From Apr/19 to May/19, I had the opportunity to take part in the Erasmus+ programme and complete a one-month internship in Tralee, Ireland. In this internship I developed a Web App using jQuery to display, sort and filter data from a pre-existing dataset. I hosted this app on Heroku, using express.js.
Chipstorm - 2 months
From Jan/18 to Feb/18, I aided in computer repair services in Chipstorm while developing a rudimentary log-in web app. I also got to experience Costumer Service for the first time, making this a big learning experience.
I'm proud of these projects, they were extremely valuable to flourish my learning mindset
Vue, Vite, Bootstrap
Created this CRUD app to learn how Vue.js + Vite works. It connects to the randomuser API service to generate random user info, and allows you to manage a fake cast of candidates. It is simply styled using one of my favourite web technologies, Bootstrap.
Python, A*
This project implements the A* pathfinding algorithm to find the best path through a square map with different terrain restrictions. One of the best parts of this project was curating the visualization and creating a gif of the solve at the end.
Python, BFS, DFS
Python program designed to show the differences between Breadth-First and Depth-First Search algorithms (BFS/DFS) when applied to the river crossing puzzle. to find all possible solutions.
