Hi! My name is
Rodrigo, I'm 29 years old and I come from Porto, Portugal. I studied Mechanical Engineering and Music Production. Before joining Le Wagon, I was working as a
freelancer sound engineer and
musician.
I always loved technology and understanding how things work.
Coding became for me a way of getting involved in something I love, while having a wide range of industries I could explore and learn from. Later on, turning my interest into the
data field was just an obvious choice! And that's when I decided to join the
part-time Data Science bootcamp in Lisbon.
Since I was planning to keep
working while studying, the part-time format was the one that best fit my need. Also, I was able to attend the whole bootcamp
remotely, which was another big plus for me as I don't live in Lisbon. I really loved learning at Le Wagon: everyone was ultra helpful, and the
fast-paced practical learning really gave me the resources I needed to dive deep into Data Science, as I intended. I was impressed with the quality of the contents and the generosity of all the TAs and colleagues. A great experience indeed.
I'm no one to give advice, but I would just say it's never too late to learn new things and I feel that
coding is a skill everybody should learn. It's a great school of thought and problem solving. If anyone needs any help or just wants to chat, I'm always available to try and help! Oh and have fun, enjoy the company and share as much as possible!
