A new cycle in my life begins today, because today is my birthday. Twenty years of life spent with hard work, friendship, love, compassion and many other bad things and good things.
Some people say that an anniversary is an update to a new version, it might be. A previous version where the errors are corrected, a version where we are prone to new errors and we have new features.
One of these features is that in some countries like Japan I can smoke, vote and more importantly: drink!
So, congratulations to all who worked in that version, because I know that without the help of so important people in my life that version, or that person, could be just another failure.
To my friends and family: Congratulations! And me: enjoy the barbecue today. 
And as I could to make me thank my beloved girlfriend endure for all my mistakes and help me overcome them. Thank you Thais!

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.
