Julio Cesar Santos
Hey there! Welcome to my profile! I’m Julio Cesar Santos, an IT technician with a unique journey. My career in tech started in computer support, where I honed my skills in problem-solving and delivering results. But as time passed, I felt something changed.
Unlike the typical stories, I didn't grow up seeing technology as something for me. My passion for technology wasn’t immediate—it came at its own pace. And maybe that’s why, when I finally discovered programming, it felt like uncovering something new and powerful.
What began as a simple curiosity quickly evolved into a genuine passion. Today, I’m proud to say I’m working toward becoming a software developer. Each line of code brings me closer to my goal, and with every challenge I face, my love for technology grows stronger.
