Tive uma experiência ótima na pós online de forma síncrona. Conteúdo excelente e fácil de adaptar para a minha rotina
Minha experiência no 6º semestre de Contabilidade e no 3º estágio tem sido de grande crescimento. Unir a teoria à prática do dia a dia é o que mais gosto. Resumo minha jornada acadêmica e profissional como desafiadora, prática e muito gratificante.
I enrolled in the Software Architecture program at PUC to deepen my technical expertise in system design and scalability. During my time there, I completed 50% of the curriculum, focusing on core modules such as Microservices, Design Patterns, and Distributed Systems. Although I have currently paused my enrollment to focus on intensive professional projects and international career goals, the academic foundation I built has been instrumental in my approach to software engineering.
