DavidArsénioMartins

I'm David Arsénio Martins - known as Vidi since childhood. A professional photographer transitioning to Software Development. With previous IT experience and skills in problem-solving, creativity and attention to detail, I'm expanding my technical knowledge and seeking opportunities to collaborate and contribute to software projects.

Before that, I completed the IT Equipment Management Technician course (Level 4 - equivalent to 10th-12th grade) at Escola Profissional de Tecnologia Digital, where I took my first steps in IT. I recently completed the Software Developer course at CESAE Digital, integrated in the Reskilling 4 Employment digital lab, covering web and mobile development, database management and software engineering.

Between that IT course and the Software Developer course, photography was my life for over a decade: I hold a degree in Photography and Visual Culture from Faculdade IADE, and spent 16 years as a photojournalist, working with several national and international newspapers, football clubs, and news agencies in Portugal and abroad.

Outside of code I'm still a photographer at heart, a chess and sudoku enthusiast, and someone who believes that learning every day is what makes the difference.
