About Me

Hi! My name is Mariana. I live in a nice city, called Christchurch! I am a big fan of Lord of the Rings! What other reason is there to live in New Zealand? I am joking, this country is really beautiful and I love living here. My hobbies include reading adventure and dystopian books, building something using Lego, watching some NFL game and listening to music. I cannot live without music. Devotion and responsibility are some characteristics of my personality. I believe in an easily accessible Web for everybody and in the future, I would like to be part of the creation of an inclusive web using my Front-end knowledge.

I have studied History at the Fluminense Federal University, in Rio. However, during my bachelor, I realized that the impact of my work in society did not satisfy me. So, I decided to try something completely different and I have no regrets about it. After finishing my bachelor degree, I started studying basics Web development subjects. Then, I discovered that my passion for Frontend development could be my profession in the future. Although I still enjoy reading about History, I am in love with the frontend development. In 2019, I started my studies about React when I participated in Chingu Cohorts journey. I learned Gatsby while developing some internal projects for Kathmandu. I have also developed skills to use Sass, Bootstrap 3 and 4, GraphQL and Material UI. In 2020, I decided to do a Nano Degree in React to improve my skills. On that degree I also learned about Redux. It was really handy, because I am using React, Redux and Typescript on my current job position.
