Daniel Ribeiro Santiago

Backend Software Developer
I am a Software engineer specialized in backend development with experience in highly complex and scalable systems. Initially graduated in Aeronautical Engineering, I discovered my passion for programming in the first periods, where I had my first contact with the area. Little by little I saw that backend development was what I would like to do professionally and I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about the topic. Dedication never ends and I am always developing and giving my best.
