About me
Summary
Hi, I'm Rúben, from Tomar. I moved to Hamburg to complete my studies and write my thesis on "The Benefits of Virtual Reality in Education." Afterwards I joined a volunteer project in Avgorou, Cyprus before returning to Portugal to build a career in software development.
I'm a highly creative and transparent person with a strong ability to adapt quickly. I've been playing football since I was 7, which gave me a foundation in discipline, team spirit, commitment and leadership that I carry into my work every day.
