A Leader's Thoughts

Hey, I'm Vinicius Souza ● I started as a software engineer back in 2014, working with Java and web technologies.

I'm the Software Engineering Manager at iFood. Before that, I was a Senior Developer and Tech Lead at various Brazilian companies. I'm originally from Brazil and now living in São Paulo, Brazil with my amazing wife and two beautiful boys.

I love agile methodologies, clean architecture, and team building. When I'm not working, I like playing Counter Strike, watching anime, running, andspending time with my family. I also support Palmeiras ⚽️ and have a dog named "Gata" 🐶.
