João Norim Bandeira

Software Engineer @ Porto, Portugal

About

I'm a software developer from Porto, having graduated at FEUP in the Integrated Masters in Informatics and Computing Engineering. I have no problem working with new or unfamiliar technologies, I'm open to new ideas and experiences, and consider myself a quick learner, and always eager to learn new stuff.

During my academic path, I've worked in many different areas, with special focus on such as web and mobile development, but also with databases management, or QA & Testing, among others. I am also very familiar with software development practices and Agile methodologies.

Besides software development, my hobbies are photography, karate, which I practice since 2001, currently with shodan graduation (1st Dan), and I also play the guitar.
