Gabriel Tsunoda

Creative Developer / Engineering Manager

+6 years of professional experience across development, leadership, and teaching. +12 years since I started programming. I also create technical content to help other devs grow in their careers, architecture, and best practices.

How it all started

I started early, at 15 studying in a technical course — C language, pointers, and soon moved on to Java. In my first opportunity in 2019, I thought I was going to crush it because I "knew everything about Java"... spoiler: I only knew Java Swing haha.

When I joined the company, I encountered Hibernate, PrimeFaces... it was a whole different world. But I gained more freedom over time, migrated to PHP, then discovered JavaScript on the frontend — or rather, jQuery — and finally, towards the end of 2019, I dove 100% into JavaScript with React, React Native, and Node.

This is just the beginning of my journey. If you want to see the full story, click here.

One thing I carry through life

"Taking risks. I always get butterflies and a bit of fear, but I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't taken at least a small risk."
