Background

About Pedro Monteiro

I’m a software developer with a background in molecular biology and a passion for building clean, reliable backend systems. I transitioned into tech after years in scientific research, bringing with me a methodical mindset, a strong analytical foundation, and a love for solving complex problems through code. Currently, I develop backend applications in the logistics and supply chain sector, working primarily with Java, Spring Boot, Docker, and MySQL. I focus on creating modular, testable, and maintainable systems using best practices in design and development. I'm skilled in building CI/CD pipelines, RESTful APIs, and automated testing using tools like JUnit and Mockito. Before entering the tech world, I was involved in applied research projects in marine biology and biochemistry, co-authoring scientific publications and mentoring students in laboratory environments. This background continues to shape my work ethic: precise, data-driven, and collaborative. Tech I use: Java, Spring Boot, Maven, Docker, MySQL, Git, Azure DevOps, JUnit, Mockito, Testcontainers Languages I speak: Portuguese (native), English (C2), French (A2), Spanish (A1) Interests: Software architecture, backend development, hardware tinkering, and gaming Always open to connecting with other developers, mentors, or teams working on interesting challenges. Let’s build something great!
