Software Engineer

Hello, i'm Diogo. A recently graduated software engineer with a passion for developing innovative solutions that solve complex problems and enhance user experience. a professional specializing in the development, implementation, maintenance and optimization of software systems. They apply engineering principles to design, build, test and manage software that meets user needs and technical requirements.


🔧 What do I do?

Software Development:

  • Requirements Analysis: Understands the needs of customers or end users and translates these needs into functional and technical requirements.
  • Software Architecture: Defines the overall structure of the software system, including the choice of technologies, standards and frameworks to be used.
  • Programming: Writing the software code, developing functionalities and implementing the system's logic. This can involve the use of various programming languages, such as Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, among others.
  • Testing and Quality Assurance:

  • Software Testing: Creates and executes tests to ensure that the software works correctly and without Software Testing: Creates and executes tests to ensure that the software works correctly and without errors. This can include unit tests, integration tests, system tests and user acceptance tests.
  • Debugging: Identifies and corrects errors or flaws in the software, also known as bugs, using debugging and analysis tools.
  • Maintenance and Continuous Improvement:

  • Code Refactoring: Improves existing code to make it more efficient, readable or easier to maintain, without changing its behavior.
  • Bug Fixing: Works to solve problems identified in the software after its release.
  • Updates and Improvements: Adds new features or makes adjustments as users' needs evolve or as new technologies emerge.
  • Project Management:

  • Project Planning: Estimates the time and resources needed to complete the software project.
  • Team Collaboration: Works as part of a team with other software engineers, designers, product managers, and other professionals. Participates in meetings to discuss progress and solve problems.
  • Documentation: Maintains clear and accurate documentation of code and processes to ensure that other team members can easily understand and continue the work.
  • Scalability and Performance:

  • Performance: Works to optimize the software's performance, ensuring that it is fast and efficient, especially in systems that handle large volumes of data or simultaneous users.
  • Scalability: Ensures that the software system can be easily scaled to serve a larger number of users or data without compromising performance.
  • Software security

  • Security: Implements practices and techniques to protect software against cyber attacks, such as SQL injection, XSS (cross-site scripting), and other security threats. This includes data encryption and authentication and authorization practices.
  • Systems integration

  • Integration with other platforms: Software engineers often need to ensure that software integrates correctly with other external tools or systems (APIs, databases, other services).
  • 📋 Main Technologies

  • Programming Languages: In-depth knowledge of one or more programming languages (Java, Python, C++, JavaScript, etc.).
  • Version Control Systems: Familiarity with tools such as Git for managing and versioning code.
  • Database: Understanding of relational (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and non-relational (MongoDB, Firebase) databases.
  • Development methodologies: Knowledge of methodologies such as Agile, Scrum or DevOps.
  • Problem-solving: Ability to find creative and efficient solutions to complex technical problems.
  • Communication: Ability to communicate ideas and solutions clearly to team members and stakeholders.
  • 📈 My work process

  • Implementing small features.
  • Fixing simple bugs.
  • Participation in code reviews.
  • Collaborating on automated tests.
  • Reading and understanding legacy code.
  • Performing deploys in development or staging environments.
  • 🚀 Why choose me?

    The software engineer plays an essential role in almost any company or organization that develops or uses software. Their work ranges from designing and building technological solutions to maintaining complex systems and ensuring that the software is secure, efficient and meets users' needs. They combine advanced technical skills with problem-solving and team collaboration skills.
