About

Hello there, I'm Camila! 👋

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a passion for learning and exploring new places. I'm originally from Brazil but I've been lucky to call several cities my home, including London, Montreal, and Barcelona. Since 2020, I've been living in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where I currently live with my fiancée.

I love learning in general, but my favorite topics are:

• Human behavior
• Cognitive biases
• How the brain works
• Languages - I'm currently learning ASL

My learning style is a bit disorganized, as I tend to jump from one topic to another, but I've come to embrace this approach. That's one of the reasons why I've decided to write digital garden-style notes, as opposed to traditional blog posts.

I've found that taking notes while learning helps me understand the subject better, so I've started doing this when reading or listening to a book, and lately also for technical learning.

Besides learning, I also love travelling, indoor bouldering, hiking, being in nature (specially close to bodies of water) and reading.

Work

I work as a Senior Backend Engineer at Flightcontrol, a startup that makes deploying apps to AWS easy.

In my career, I've worked mostly on closed source projects with companies of different sizes, using technologies such as:

• Typescript
• Node.js
• Golang
• React
• Docker
• AWS
• Shell tools and scripting
• Temporal

I'm excited to continue learning, exploring, and growing both personally and professionally. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me!
