November 17, 2023


Introducing Camila, our Student Backend Developer, whose journey spans from Brazil to Denmark, embracing diverse cultures and backend expertise. Her story unravels how a passion for problem-solving propelled her from uncertain beginnings to becoming a backend wonder at Shape Games, offering insights and advice for aspiring developers.


From Brazil to Backend Development
Camila's professional path didn't follow a linear trajectory. "Before going into university, I had to choose a major, and I wasn't sure of anything," Camila shares. Originally from Brazil, she found herself drawn to the complexity and challenge of computer science. Her love for math and problem-solving led her to pursue a degree in computer engineering, which eventually transformed her career aspirations.

Camila's first real encounter with backend programming occurred at a startup, where she had the opportunity to work on full-stack tasks. It was during this time that she discovered her passion for backend development. "I really liked the backend, so when I was out of there, I looked for something that focused solely on backend development," Camila explains. This decision set her on a path towards becoming a backend wonder woman at Shape Games.


BACKEND WONDER WOMAN AT SHAPE GAMES
A graduate in computer engineering, Camila decided to steer her career towards the calm and welcoming environment of Copenhagen. She joined Shape Games as a backend student developer, and her experience at the Shape Games weekend left a lasting impression. "I have never felt so welcome at a place where I didn't know anyone," Camila recalls. The supportive culture and the opportunity for learning and growth cemented her place in the company.
