HUGO CAPELA
BACKEND DEVELOPER
I took a non-traditional path into tech - from working as a bartender
and collecting ice hockey data to becoming a developer through the
bootcamp. Since then, I’ve been working as
a backend developer, helping deliver real-world projects using Java
and Spring. I’m all about learning, solving problems and building things
that contribute to a better future.
