Summary
João Targino is a software developer with 12 years of experience building mobile and backend solutions, currently contributing at Warner Bros. Discovery. He combines a strong Android and Java background with Python and data-science experience, shaped by wins in hackathons and the Campus Mobile 2015 victory for his RunMusic app. João has a history of practical impact—shipping production features at companies like 123Loadboard and Yoop, contributing to OpenStack during early research roles, and mentoring Udacity students as a project reviewer. He brings cross-disciplinary experience from transportation data projects and agricultural data analysis, pairing frontend visualization skills with statistical treatment in R. Comfortable across the stack, he frequently turns personal ideas into working apps and seeks opportunities to tackle creative, user-focused challenges. Based in Ottawa, he blends academic training from UFCG and Western with industry pragmatism and a persistent habit of building side projects that solve real problems.
