ABOUT

Rogério Caetano's Avatar in Rubber Hose Style - Gemini Generate

I am a professional with over 20 years of experience in the visual arts, now merging my solid background in Design and Communication with software and hardware development. With a postgraduate degree in Graphic Design from Estácio de Sá, my career has been defined by solving complex problems through creativity—a skill I now apply to embedded systems and software engineering.

Background

  • Design & Illustration: With extensive experience in major media outlets and editorial projects, I've developed a systemic product vision that I bring to my coding. I believe software, like design, must be functional, efficient, and well-structured.
  • Professional Maturity: Two decades of professional practice have provided me with the discipline and critical thinking required to master complex technologies in a self-taught and structured manner.
  • Hardware & Low-Level: I am passionate about the "soul" of computing. I dedicate my time to studying Z80 Assembly, C/C++, and 8-bit architectures (MSX/ZX Spectrum), alongside hands-on projects with ESP32 and Arduino.
