Highlights
Nasci numa família pobre no interior de São Paulo, estudei em escola pública e não pude fazer uma faculdade. Foi um detalhe na minha vida que fez a diferença: o esforço dos meus pais para me dar um computador, o que me permitiu aprender a programar sozinho e conseguir um emprego.
A CloudWalk, Inc. é formada por histórias de pessoas como o do Gabriel Bernal, que há 10 anos começou a trabalhar como Customer Support Engineer I e hoje comanda a área que tem mais de 170 profissionais. E do Elias David Oliveira Sousa, que acaba entrar para o melhor time de CSE do Brasil, a partir da nossa parceria com o projeto Alpha Edtech.
Liderado pela Nuricel Aguilera, o Instituto Alpha Lumen oferece formação em programação voltada para jovens com altas habilidades em situação de vulnerabilidade social. É aquele "detalhe" que transforma a vida de pessoas. Tenho muita satisfação em apoiar essa iniciativa.
