Hey! My name is Vinicius, I'm based in Dublin, Ireland. I'm originally from Salvador-BA, Brazil, and I also lived in Portugal between 2009 and 2011. I write mostly IT-related articles - Coding, Java, Python, AI, Cloud, etc. If you dig deep enough (don't do it), you will find fiction, story-telling, humor(less), and whatever thought I had and decided to publish at the time. I work with Software Development for more than 15 years, mostly with Java and every framework/library/tool/database that is commonly used in Java applications. Backend and frontend. Education-wise, I have a master's degree in Advanced Software Engineering from University College Dublin (UCD). I have Project Management Professional (PMP) and Java SE certifications. I work at Oracle. I'm part of the MySQL Database Service (MDS) team as a Principal Software Developer. MySQL Database Service is a fully managed Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) native service. MySQL-as-a-service is also available in AWS and Azure.
