About Me

Discover my journey from mathematics and data science to full-stack development, driven by a passion for creating impactful, intelligent solutions.
My profile picture

Hi, I'm Gonçalo Moura, a full-stack developer with a unique background that blends mathematics, data science, and web development. My journey began in the world of abstract equations and algorithms, evolved into crafting machine learning models for fraud detection, and has now culminated in building end-to-end web applications that solve real-world problems.

My Path

My academic background in mathematics provided me with a strong foundation in problem-solving and analytical thinking. This foundation led me to explore the world of data science, where I built and deployed machine learning models for a company focused on online fraud detection. It was during this time that I truly understood the power of algorithms and data in driving decision-making.

Driven by a desire to create tangible products and build complete solutions, I transitioned into web development. I embraced the full stack, learning technologies like React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, and mastering the intricacies of database design with SQL. I now leverage this diverse skillset to create robust, scalable applications that seamlessly integrate front-end user experiences with back-end functionality.

My Development Philosophy

I believe in building solutions that are not only functional but also intelligent. My development philosophy is rooted in the following principles:

  • Impactful Solutions: I strive to create applications that make a real difference, whether by streamlining processes, providing valuable insights, or enhancing user experiences.
  • Intelligent Algorithms: I leverage my background in mathematics and data science to incorporate intelligent algorithms and machine learning models into my projects.
  • Clean, Scalable Code: I prioritize writing clean, well-documented code that is easy to maintain and scale.
  • Continuous Learning: The world of technology is constantly evolving, and I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies.

What Drives Me

I am driven by the challenge of solving complex problems and the satisfaction of creating something that truly helps people or businesses. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to make a positive impact on the world.

Beyond the Code

When I'm not coding, you can find me gaming, exploring hiking trails, and reading a good book. I also love tackling puzzles, whether they're algorithmic challenges or thought-provoking enigmas.
