=^.^= Hello =^.^=

I'm Daniela Petruzalek, a software engineer from Brazil 🇧🇷, but currently living in the UK 🇬🇧.

My specialisation is backend and data engineering and I'm currently a Developer Relations Engineer at Google 👩‍💻🥑

I'm interested in:

• Go programming
• Python 🐍
• Databases
• Data processing (Apache Spark)
• Recommendation systems
• Game development (specially retro) 🕹️
• Cats, lot's of cats 🐈‍⬛

This is my personal GitHub profile where I store my experiments, supporting materials for my talks and a few actual open source projects. Please check out the most important ones:

• https://github.com/danicat/pacgo: Write a Pac Man Clone from Scratch while learning Go
• https://github.com/danicat/read.dbc: A tool to read files only the Brazilian government cares to use

I'm always open to collaborations and I love to speak at tech conferences. If you are curious about the previous talks I gave most of them are listed in my public speaking repository.

Finally, please check out my personal blog, where I write my thoughts, tutorials and news about everything I'm currently working on.
