Hi, I’m Beatriz Makowski!

I’m a senior Mechanical Engineer student at FAE University, currently living in Curitiba, Brazil. I will graduate in Dec/2022.
I have more than 5 years of work experience in the Automotive Industry as a Process Engineering Analyst. You can read more about my work experience in my LinkedIn profile.
My first programming experience was at university, where I took two classes and learned to program in C. I later continued my studies taking the course CS50's Introduction to Computer Science. Through both experiences, I have developed a strong foundation in programming logic, control structures and data structures, which have helped me immensely in my coding journey.
In March 2022, I decided to change carrers and become a full-time software developer. I'm a strong believer that purpose fuels passion, and I find a great sense of purpose in using my mental skills to both challenge myself and help others. It was this sense of purpose that led me to pursue an engineering degree when I was younger and it is the same sense of purpose that is fueling me during this career transition.
I am a motivated problem solver and diligent learner. Thanks to my work experience, I have developed the necessary interpersonal skills to succeed in a dynamic and fast-paced work environment. I take great pride in helping and sharing my knowledge with others. I am confident I would be a great asset to any development team.
