I am Rafael Vecchi. Most people just call me Vecchi (pronounced like "veh-kee")
📍 Based in Campinas, SP - Brazil 🇧🇷
In January 2024, 4 years after graduating as an Electrical Engineer and working with Bid processes and data analysis for a multinational, I decided to change courses and started learning web development through The Odin Project, starting with the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then moving into React for the frontend and Node.js + Express on the backend.
Feb. 2025 - I took part in a peer-learning project through the Chingu community, where I had the chance to collaborate with other developers for the first time.
Right now, I’m actively looking for my first professional opportunity as a developer!
Aug. 2025 - Good News! I just got my first job as a Full-Stack developer at Little Maker Brasil! I'm going to be working with:
- Frontend: Angular + TypeScript
- Backend: PHP + CodeIgniter + MySQL
- Mobile: Ionic
Aug. 2025 - I'm mostly focused on getting comfortable with the tech I'll be using on my job, so it's going to take some time for me to get back at working on my own projects.
