Rinaldo Junior22
Paulista, PE, Brazil
I'm a Computer Science student based in Pernambuco, Brazil. My first encounter with programming was during my time studying Industrial Engineering. Soon after, I fully transitioned to the IT field. Currently, I'm exploring game development and iOS. Besides that, I love doing pretty much anything—painting, music, photography, traveling, crochet, cooking, and the list goes on.
