How I got here

Hey there! My name is Laize, and let me take you on a journey through my tech-infused life.

Ever since I laid my hands on a 486 computer at the age of 15, I have been captivated by the world of technology. With no accessible classes nearby, I taught myself the ins and outs of using software computing. Out of curiosity, I took a course in assembling a CPU to see the magic behind a hardware that allows us to create and use fantastic software solutions.

However, societal norms led me to pursue a career in Law, which allowed me to empower individuals and secure a stable future. But life took an unexpected turn when I left Brazil and found myself in Sydney, Australia, which became the perfect opportunity to reassess my career choices. That's when I boldly decided to dive headfirst into programming.

In 2019, I completed Certification IV in Web-Based Technologies from TAFE, and since then, I've never looked back. Frontend development has become my true passion, merging my love for technology with my desire to make a difference in people's lives.

Join me as I embark on this exciting journey, crafting captivating digital experiences and pushing the boundaries of creativity, one line of code at a time.
