Misc (open source, contests, volunteering)

I’ve always liked to work on volunteer and open source projects as a way to exercise my skills and learn.

Here’s some of the work:

Volunteer:

Vila Pinto website. CEA is an NGO that supports women who are victims of violence by providing them work, education and leisure activities for their children. I have worked closely with the volunteers in building their website, mostly with UX design and front-end development. http://www.ceavilapinto.org.br
