Reading
Always mid-book, always looking for the next one. Fiction for the escape, non-fiction for the arguments I get to have with the author.
Olá!

Machado Gonçalves
Computer Science student @ UCF · Full-stack developer
I build full-stack software that solves real problems — with a soft spot for pink, good books, and one-way tickets.
01 — About
Nice to meet you
I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Central Florida (Go Knights! ⚔️) with a 3.85 GPA and a real passion for building software people actually use. Most of my work lives in the MERN and LAMP stacks, somewhere between a well-designed database and a front end that feels good to click.
I've been a Grader TA and a WISTEM mentor at UCF, which taught me that explaining an idea clearly is half of engineering. Outside the terminal I'm usually mid-book, on a reformer, or planning the next trip — and I do all of it in two languages.
02 — Tech stack
Things I build with
The tools I reach for most — picked up across coursework, internship work, and projects that started as “what if I just tried it?”
03 — Projects
Stuff I've built
A mix of internship work, class projects, and things I built because the idea wouldn't leave me alone.
04 — Beyond the code
The non-technical stack
Because a developer is more than a list of frameworks.
Pilates
My reset button. Turns out “small, controlled, consistent movements” is also very good advice for shipping software.
Travelling
Collecting stamps, ferry timetables and group-chat receipts — the last one is literally why I built TripTally.
Português
Fluent in Portuguese and English — I think in both, debug in both, and occasionally mix them mid-sentence. Try the EN/PT switch up top; this whole site speaks two languages.
05 — Resume
The short version
Let's build something
Internships, collaborations, or a book recommendation — my inbox is open in English and Portuguese.
