<-- Things I've done --------------------------------------------->
* Was born a while ago. Graduated. Paid taxes. Mostly expected to
die at some point (not too keen on this one, if I might add).
* Working since 2012 for the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
as part of their tech team, where I wear many hats:
* Creating and managing servers and websites;
* Researching, developing and implementing institution-wide and
user-targeted improvements, policies and solutions;
* Helping to mantain and ensure administrative and processual
integrity.
* Organized WordPress Meetups and WordCamps (2013-2016).
* Wrote articles for a tech blog (2011-2013).
* Was part of a very short-lived tech podcast (2009).
