Introduction
Hey! I appreciate you taking the time to be here.
My name is Euller, I’m 22 years old, and I’m writing to you from the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. I’ve been wanting to start this blog since last year, but I wasn’t sure how to begin. So, I figured there’s no better way to start than by introducing myself!
Personsal Interests
I’m quite reserved and prefer to keep a low profile. I enjoy exercising, with running being a particular favorite of mine. When it comes to music, I have a soft spot for classic heavy metal - it’s the genre that keeps me motivated and energized. As for communication, I’m not the best at speaking, but I’m a great listener, always eager to hear others’ thoughts and stories.
”So, you’re a developer?”
Yes! I’m currently developing great solutions to solve various internet problems.
”And how did you get into that?”
It all started a long time ago, back in the golden era (when i had no bills to take care of :P)
There is a game called Tibia that was hugely popular back then. I played it a lot, but there was one issue: the Premium Account. Basically, you had to pay monthly to unlock the full game content. Since I didn’t have money, I turned to alternative/private servers where I could access everything for free.
Private Servers? Yeah! Tibias’s community is amazing, and I’m really grateful for open-source projects like The Forgotten Server and OtClient. Thanks to those, I could set up my own private server, running on my computer, with whatever features I wanted!
While browsing forums to figure out how to manage my server, I found myself reading code. Even though I had no idea what it was at first, I downloaded Notepad++ and quickly got introduced to The Lua Programming Language (which, by the way, was created by Brazilians!).
Headaches, headaches everywhere! Programming wasn’t easy, and I ran into countless problems that seemed unsolvable - yet they were! With every mistake, I learned a lot.
That was about 12 years ago. Since then, I’ve done many projects, but they were all Tibia-related. In 2020, after finishing high school, I began studying web development to pursue a career. It was tough to find a job without certifications, so I had to take on freelance work until I got hired.
”No certificates?”
That’s right. I don’t have any formal certificates; everything I know, I taught myself. There’s a word for that - self-taught - but I don’t really like it. These days, it feels like everyone is calling themselves self-taught, and I don’t want to blend in with the crowd.
I’ve tried formal education in fields like Systems Analysis and Software Engineering, but I ended up quitting.
You may also notice that this site is in three languages: Portuguese, English, and Polish. I learned English by myself and am now learning Polish - also thanks to Tibia. Polish players make up the second-largest community in the game, and I made some friends there. Plus, Polish is considered one of the hardest languages to learn, so I figured it’d be a good challenge. As for Portuguese, it’s my native language.
”What can I expect from you?”
Well, what do you have in mind? Let’s talk about it! I’m open to almost anything - exploring new ideas is one of my passions.
”What can I expect from this blog?”
I don’t want to limit this blog to just development topics. Whether you’re a developer or a client, you’ll find a mix of experiences that I’m excited to share.
This should be a space where I’ll share my journey, my projects, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Whether it’s about coding, challenges I’ve faced, or new interests I’m exploring, I hope you find something that resonates with you here.
Final Thoughts
I’m always open to feedback, discussions, and collaboration. So, if anything sparks your curiosity or if you have ideas of your own, feel free to send me a e-mail. After all, the best part of this journey is being able to connect and grow together with people like you.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
