It’s just a begin

Dec 19, 2008

Who am I?

My name is Renan Gonçalves, 19 years old. I born in a small city called Extrema (Minas Gerais, Brazil) and I live in São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil) since 2007.
I meet PHP in 2003 when my cousin went to my house and showed me how build my first PHP application, a pool system.
My first freelancer was in 2004, I did some features in a site about security.

What am I passionate for?

I love write test cases, do nice applications with JQuery AJAX, learn new things in general. If you go to my house you will see many books about various subjects.
Well, I usually say that a challenge give me power to increase my knowledgement, I really love be moved to a challenge.

What am I doing?

Actually I’m a CakePHP Core Developer (then expect many posts about this great framework).
I’m working on a really little company called InovaDigital as a Developer Senior (Server Admin, Team Leader … you know, I’m a all-in-one guy).

What will I do?

For now, apart from CakePHP Framework development, I’ll dedicate my time for Bakery and CakeBOOK development. There are many things to do to make this applications more global, like add some Internationalization, translate the content to Portuguese and add nice features.
I’m planning dedicate some time to learn more and contribute to JQuery.

What I said on the title of this post, it is just a begin. So do not expect too many from me.
