Hey! I’m Igor! A Brazilian software engineer living in Canada, husband, dad of two little kids (Bia and Davi), and the creator behind this blog.

I started this space to share not just my work in tech, but the real, human journey behind it — the challenges of raising a family abroad, building side projects like The Native Goods, co-founding a startup, and finding balance between ambition and everyday life.
Writing here also helps me put my thoughts into words, showcase my work, and expose my knowledge in a way that opens up more remote opportunities — so I can keep doing what I love while staying close to my kids and family.
By day, I write code, lead technical projects, and solve real-world problems. By night (or early morning, thanks to the kids), I reflect, create, and try to become a better version of myself…
One blog post, line of code, or push up at a time.
Here, you’ll find posts about:
Software Engineering — especially Java, Spring Boot, and building SaaS products
Living Abroad — the good, the hard, and the funny
Personal Growth — habits, routines, mindset shifts
My Journey — wins, losses, and everything in between
Whether you’re a fellow developer, expat, parent, or just curious about life’s twists and turns, I hope you find something here that connects with you.
Thanks for stopping by — and feel free to reach out anytime. Let’s build, share, and grow together.
