My name is Lucas, I'm from 🇧🇷Brazil and you can use he/him pronouns with me 😉

I've been a developer since 2015, starting with C, which transitioned to C#/.NET for most of my career. After a while I started transitioning to other languages and currently have relevant working experience with Python and Java.

Throughout these languages, I dabbled with some different tech, such as MongoDB, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Docker, Kubernetes, SpringBoot, Swagger, RESTful APIs, Flask/PythonEVE, SonarQube and the list goes on and on...

Regarding ☁️Cloud Services, I messed around a lot on Azure, from good ol' VMs to AKS, even involving the entire CI/CD pipeline using Azure DevOps while integrating with a plethora of Microsoft services and some third party like Sonarqube itself. Within that period I managed to get the AZ900 certificate from Microsoft as well. With less extent I also dabbled with AWS while working with Java and Python.

Needless to say I am a firm advocate for clean code and good practices, and I always aim to write clean, highly maintainable code with plenty of documentation to go along.

TL;DR:

Currently I provide freelance services with my own company Palavrinha, with experiences including but not limited to working with foreign companies from 🇩🇪Germany and the 🇺🇸USA

I'm currently learning more about microservices and aiming to improve my docker and kubernetes skills, as it is one of the areas I have the most interest.

I also kinda enjoy writing articles on DEV.to

I'm always open to collaborating with open source projects if within my grasp, and I always check my own repositories for issues and PRs :)

Let's be fair: yes, I enjoy programming and I could talk about good practices and clean code for a while, but I also have outside hobbies. I am very passionate about 📸photography and I am a 🎮gamer at heart, so if you want to spend the eternity talking, hit me up with some Warcraft questions!
