About Me

Hi! I am Gus, I enjoy taking on challenging ideas in coding. I practice and learn about computing technologies to increase my knowledge and eventually apply them at a project or on the workplace.
I am open for an oportunity as a Software Engineer intern, mostly on Full Stack or Back End engineering. I have experience on ASP.NET Core, React, ExpressJS (MERN Stack), and Python, but I am open to adapt into any other environment.
