<h1>NILANA PEREIRA DA ROCHA</h1>

<h2>Hi</h2>

<p>I am a Junior Software Engineer with a background in Architecture and a creative impulse. I am a keen learner, capable of quickly integration with any development team and embracing new technologies and ideas.</p>

<p>My first contact with the brand new world of web development was when I started seeking opportunities in my previous career as an interior design professional. I thought in some ideas to improve the visibility of my previous developments, and my IT husband advised me to make my own website as a portfolio to post all my architectural projects. It was a great idea! This would make it much easier when applying for job openings.</p>

<p>He started teaching me how to build a website using HTML and CSS. When I saw it I was really proud of myself and just fell in love with what everything I have learned during this journey.</p>

<p>With the website finished, released and deployed I started to study more about HTML, CSS and Javascript introduction by myself. A few months later I was determined that I wanted to change careers.</p>

<p>I started the course at General Assembly as my first presential course and it was great. Know more about algorithms, programming logic using different languages like NodeJS, Javascript, and Ruby really pumped me up!</p>

<p>Also, understand more about usability, accessibility and performance. After all these months, I'm really glad of my experience so far. These are the projects I developed in these 3 months.</p>

<p> Now I’m living in Sydney (Australia) and I am searching for great opportunities to work with smart people and face real commercial challenges. I am excited by the opportunity to gain new skills and use my ability to solve interesting and difficult problems.</p>
