I'm Marcos Nikel. I live in São Paulo, where I build the next level.

I have always been close to computers since I was a kid. I spent my whole childhood playing Perfect World since I was 6 years old and got my first contact with programming when I was 10, creating my own server. Life happened and I ended up studying nutrition in high school and later started college in that field. After studying nutrition for a whole year before pivoting to Computer Science, this was the best decision I ever made, transforming a hobby into my career.

The only thing that I like more than computers and programming is challenging myself in some physical way—in the gym, running, or other activities that push my limits.

Currently I work at the largest company in South America, Mercado Libre, as a Software Engineer where I work mostly with Golang, Cloud Services and Gen AI.
