I understand the important concepts behind different programming languages, from pure functional to multiparadigm ones. I'm very comfortable to work with any language, even those I've never touched.
Programming languages are just tools, you chose what best fits your needs, and you should never be afraid of using a different tool to get the work done.

I started developing software in 2010, when I was only 10 years old and had no internet connection. First I learned Lua and was amazed with what I did with it and what I could do, but it would be hard without access to the internet. So I started fixing the computers of my friends and neighbours to get some money, and with that I went to a lan house to research more about programming and download the software and documentation that I needed.
Interestingly, that was also how I did my first “job”, I used mobile GSM internet to communicate with my customer, and went to a Cybercafé to send them the packages and test it out.
Being always curious led me to Linux in 2014, then to FreeBSD a couple of years after.
My love is not only for the code, but for the technology, so I keep learning anything that interests me in this field. Which includes learning about Hardware Architecture, ISAs, Operating Systems (the underlying implementation), Reverse Engineering (which is how I learned to create my own compiler), and so on.
The most challenging project was creating my own JVM compiler, which translates Concrete Trees into JVM Bytecode. This was the most challenging project I ever worked in my life, I learned about Stack, Heap, Garbage Collection, JIT, a bunch of JVM Internal things, such as Lookup Switch, Table Switch, Stack VM (and consequently, Register VMs). One of the benefits of getting so much knowledge about the JVM (beyond the Java language), is knowing how to analyse and optimise Java Applications, as I not only know what is an inefficient solution, but I also know what is inefficient for the JVM.
This also motivated me to start writing my own Programming Language and learning more about Parsers and compilers, especially the LLVM.
