Oh, you'd like to learn more about it? That's awesome—most others just look over and click on the projects! But thanks for being interested anyway.
So, what am I like beyond the lines of code and deployment pipelines? Well, I'm Pedro Ventura—a software engineer during the day and a firefighter by, well, whenever the fire alarm goes off! That’s right, when I’m not debugging APIs or optimizing cloud functions, I’m out there responding to emergencies as a Volunteer Firefighter in Ansião. It’s an intense but incredibly rewarding experience that has taught me resilience, quick problem-solving, and that caffeine is, in fact, a basic human necessity.
Technically speaking, I love diving into new challenges, whether it's learning the latest frameworks or brainstorming innovative solutions to knotty problems. I believe great software isn't so much about coding; it's about building solutions that make a difference.
When I do get a little bit of free time, you'll likely find me learning about some new tech, watching a quality TV show in bulk, practicing some sport or scheming my next escapade. So if you ever need to chat about software, firefighting, or surviving the art of a production deployment failure, give me a shout!
