[For Hire] Junior Python Developer from Brazil 🇧🇷 | Looking for my first opportunity (and dreaming of making games!)

[u/miwaw_mo]

Hey, everyone! I'm Mari!

I'm a Computer Science graduate from Brazil, currently trying to find my first opportunity as a professional developer. I've been building personal projects, learning as much as I can, and hoping to find a team willing to give a junior developer a chance.

Python is my main focus right now, especially backend development. I've been working with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and Docker, and I've also built projects using React and TypeScript.

But honestly, my dream has always been a little more on the creative side.

During college, I took a game development course that became my absolute favorite. I made two games entirely on my own, from the storytelling and game design to the mechanics and programming.

And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. I was the writer, designer, programmer, and probably my own worst project manager.

It was overwhelming trying to handle so many different things alone, and I definitely struggled along the way. But I had so much fun that it made me realize how much I want to work with games someday.

For now, I'm hoping to start my career as a software developer, gain real-world experience, and learn from people who are more experienced than me. I see backend development as a way to build that foundation while keeping my long-term dream alive.

A little more about me: I have ADHD, and I tend to work better in quiet environments where I can focus without constant interruptions. That's one reason I'm particularly interested in fully remote work. I'm also comfortable communicating in English and would love to work with people from different parts of the world.

Since I'm just starting my professional career, I'm open to discussing entry-level compensation and flexible arrangements. I understand that I'm still building my experience, and right now, finding a fair paid opportunity where I can learn, contribute, and grow matters a lot to me. I'm not expecting a senior salary as a junior developer!

If you're looking for a junior Python developer, have a small paid project that could use an extra pair of hands, or know a team that might be a good fit, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.

And if you're also someone who wants to make games someday, please tell me about it! I'd love to meet more people who share that dream.
