hi

i'm sousa

Web-Developer - Bartender - fun guy

Looking out a starry window
Sousa, his fiance, and his orange cat

I'm a Web-Developer and recent graduate of Juno College

After working a decade in hospitality, from bussing tables to management, I needed a change, a big one. Getting married was the push I needed to begin my career change journey.

Learning to code has been an incredibly rewarding challenge, and paring this new knowledge with my work ethic, eagerness to please, and communication skills, I believe will make me an asset for any team I would have the pleasure of joining.

Bartender focusing on making a cocktail

What's he into?

You'll usually find me zipping around the city on my motorcycle, playing video games and researching tech, or making drinks(or mocktails) for friends new and old, while sharing stories and experiences.
