Web technologies
I've been using web technologies since the late '90s. I have coded HTML email campaigns for advertising firms in New York during the dot.com boom. Helped to design and develop UI/UX for companies such as Citibank, GE and, Pitney Bowes using Adobe software. I started customizing Wordpress themes with CSS and HTML for my personal photo blog in 2009.

Advanced Nitrox Scuba Diver
Inspired by my uncle, I took my Diving certification in the US. I have dived in Pennsylvania, Key Largo, Deerfield Beach, Blue Grotto, Hurghada in Egypt and some other places. My favorite dive is wreck Diving, where I get to explore shipwrecks. My favorite dive site is the Spiegel Grove in Key Largo.

Professional Photographer
I graduated from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale with a diploma in Professional Photography in 2008. The classes were held in analog and digital photography. I learned to develop and print black and white films and prints as well as process and retouch digital images. I planned to be an Underwater Photographer, but I ended up shooting weddings and portraits in Miami.

Language skills
I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish at a medium level and, Danish (which is still a working progress). Because my native language is Portuguese, I can also understand some Italian and, it would not be difficult for me to learn it, considering both are rooted in Latin.
