Software Engineer | 42 Cadet (hcosta) | Aspiring DevOps
Informatics & Telecommunications Engineering Student with a strong foundation in C/C++ and Unix systems, eager to build high-performance infrastructure.
I am a passionate software developer currently undergoing rigorous training at 42 Luanda (Intra: hcosta). I specialize in low-level programming, memory management, and algorithm optimization. My engineering philosophy revolves around writing clean, efficient, and scalable code. As an aspiring DevOps engineer, I am continuously bridging the gap between deep system architecture and modern infrastructure operations. You can find all my open-source work here on GitHub under HVersalhes.
The 42 curriculum is a highly rigorous, peer-reviewed, and project-based software engineering program. Below are my completed milestones:
| Project Category | Completed Projects | Technical Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Systems & Concurrency | minishell, philosophers, minitalk |
Built a Unix shell (Bash-like), implemented multithreading/mutexes to solve the dining philosophers problem, and developed IPC (Inter-Process Communication) using Unix signals. |
| Algorithms & Logic | push_swap, fract-ol |
Developed highly optimized sorting algorithms using limited stack operations and rendered complex mathematical fractals using the MinilibX graphical library. |
| System Administration | Born2beroot |
Configured a secure virtual machine, implementing strict LVM partitions, SSH protocols, firewall (UFW), and password policies. |
| Core C & Memory | libft, ft_printf, get_next_line |
Recreated the C Standard Library, built a custom printf function, and implemented a robust memory-leak-free file reading utility. |
Status: Successfully completed the Common Core foundational layer and advancing towards specialized architectures.
I am actively seeking opportunities where I can contribute to high-performance teams and solve complex engineering problems.
