Danilo Silva | Software Developer

About me

I'm Danilo Silva, a full stack developer and computer engineer based in São Paulo, Brazil.

I have been working in software development for web, desktop, and embedded systems for the last 13 years.

During this time, I have worked on systems across various business sectors, but I have spent most of this time developing web and embedded applications for civil aviation.

I graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering from UFABC in 2016. My journey into the world of programming began in childhood, driven by a keen interest in game development. This early passion for creating games sparked my pursuit of a tech career. Although I don't work as a game developer, I occasionally participate in game jams.

My focus is always on seeking solutions to challenges through technology. It doesn’t matter if the challenge comes from an individual or a company. It doesn’t matter if the solution will be hardware or software.
