Hugo Daniel Da Rocha Capela

My path into tech has been unconventional — from bartending to collecting ice hockey data, and eventually taking the leap into software development through the bootcamp (now Code For All_). What began as a bold career change quickly became a genuine passion for problem-solving, building software, and continuous learning.

During the bootcamp, I built a strong foundation in Java, JavaScript, and Spring, with a clear focus on writing clean, maintainable code. Equally important, I developed the ability to quickly learn new tools, work effectively in team environments, and stay adaptable under pressure — skills that have been essential as I transitioned into a professional development role.

From January 2024 to July 2025, I worked as a backend developer at Bring Global, contributing to the NBB Family Banking Project and the NBB Support Squad. In this role, I developed backend services using Java and Spring, worked on API integrations, and collaborated closely with mobile, frontend, QA, and architecture teams. I was also actively involved in troubleshooting and bug fixing across both development and production environments, which helped me better understand real-world systems and workflows.

I bring not only a solid technical foundation, but also a strong learning mindset, a collaborative attitude, and a genuine enthusiasm for building reliable software.
