My journey into tech: from traffic manager to future developer

Maycon, a Systems Analysis and Development student at UNICID, is transitioning from a career in customer service, sales, and paid traffic management into software development. He has completed more than 30 courses and hands-on projects through DIO and Santander Open Academy, focusing on Git, GitHub, Python, and AI-assisted automation tools including Claude Code, GPT Agents, and GitHub Copilot. His portfolio includes a Porsche dashboard BI panel built with AI agents, a Stripe-powered photo book creator, an e-commerce site, and a Python and SQLite CRUD application.

Hey, dev.to! 👋

I'm Maycon, a Systems Analysis and Development student at UNICID, currently making a career shift: I come from a background in customer service, sales and paid traffic management, and now I'm diving headfirst into programming.

Over the past few months I completed 30+ courses and hands-on projects (DIO and Santander Open Academy), focusing on Git & GitHub, Python, and AI-assisted automation (Claude Code, GPT Agents, GitHub Copilot). I also got my hands dirty with a few real projects:

🚗 Porsche Dashboard — a BI panel with KPIs and interactive charts, built with the help of AI Agents

📸 Photo Book Creator — a digital memory album with shareable access codes and Stripe-powered payments

🛒 Amazônia Force — a full e-commerce site with catalog, cart and login

🗂️ Customer Registration System — a Python + SQLite CRUD app

I'm here to learn from the community, share what I'm building, and hopefully land my first opportunity as a dev soon. Let's connect! 🚀
