Online, I'm known as *The Developer Dad*. I'm a Java Developer currently working at the multinational company **Accenture**. I have a strong interest in **robotics**, **artificial intelligence**, and **engineering** in general. I'm driven by learning and sharing knowledge. If you take a look at my blog, you'll see that my interests are quite diverse, but they really need to spark a passion in me. Only then can I truly get involved with a subject. This space is constantly evolving and growing, so if you like what you find here, feel free to come back often! --- ## From Enthusiast to Professional I've been passionate about technology from a very young age. It all started with an old computer, but life seemed to have other plans for me. I graduated in Law, but in 2017 I decided to return to what I truly loved: Computing. Since then, I’ve been studying **Java** with dedication. In 2020, I started my **Software Engineering** degree at **PUCPR**, and it was also during that time that I landed my first job as a **Java Developer** — a language I continue to work with to this day. However, those are just a few of my many passions, as you’ll discover further down this page. --- ## Consultant It took me a while to realize it, but my desire to **learn** and **share knowledge**, combined with the experience I’ve gained through various work projects, made me capable of offering **consulting services for Java projects at various levels of complexity and PL/SQL Oracle DB**. My experience with **large-scale corporate projects**, together with my background as a Java Developer, the books I enjoy reading, and my passion for technology, turned out to be the perfect combination for this journey. As a consultant, I help **small and large companies** **modernize** or **build robust solutions using Java technology**. My work is grounded in cutting-edge Software Engineering, using the best practices in planning and development. From there, we collaborate to find the most effective approaches and solutions for each challenge. You can learn more about my consulting approach [in this post](#). --- ## Content Creator In 2024, I began my journey as a **content creator**, driven by my passion for **self-taught learning**. Since then, I’ve been sharing experiences, knowledge, and reflections on technology, career, and personal development. On my [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@the-developer-dad-f6t), you can get to know more about this work. If you enjoy the content, help spread the message by sharing the videos. Comments and likes are also very welcome — they’re important signals for the algorithm and help a lot. But if you’d like to do even more, you can [buy me a coffee](#), support my work on [Patreon](#), or become a [Channel Member on YouTube](#). --- ## Online Presence **YouTube**, my website [thedeveloperdad.com](https://thedeveloperdad.com) and [ X - @thedeveloperdad](https://x.com/thedeveloperdad) are the best places to follow all my latest posts, articles, and videos. Occasionally, I also publish content on [LinkedIn](https://br.linkedin.com/in/eliasfernandescout).
