In this episode of the Sem Codar podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing João Coelho, a talented developer who shares his inspiring journey in the world of No Code and Low Code. João, who lives in Fortaleza, Ceará, works remotely for a non-profit organization in Canada called IFSSA, which develops three products in the SaaS model. During the interview, he reveals how his passion for learning No Code tools led him to a successful international career. João began his journey during the pandemic in 2020, when he discovered Bubble as a rapid development solution. Even though he is a civil engineer, he has always had a strong interest in technology and gained experience in data analysis and databases working at a BI company. He highlights the importance of properly allocating sensitive data and the challenges of finding viable solutions for this. The guest shares valuable tips on how to build a portfolio and align medium and long-term goals to build an international career. He emphasizes the relevance of using tools like ChatGPT to improve programming language skills and the importance of certifications, like Bubble, to differentiate yourself in the professional market. João also mentions his early experiences in seeking job opportunities in the app development field, testing products for different companies, often under extremely tight deadlines. João’s gradual development in the job market, including working on freelance projects through Fiverr and for a company in the United States, helped him gain significant experience and build a solid portfolio. His work later led to positions at ISA and IFSA, where he worked on a food aid management app for vulnerable people. In the interview, João highlights the importance of staying up to date with global technology trends and the need to have multiple skills, such as knowledge of Bubble and databases. He also talks about the advantage of understanding the foundations of different technologies and acquiring skills beyond the basics, such as SQL. João Coelho not only discusses his challenges and achievements, but also shares practical advice for those who want to pursue a career as a remote developer for foreign companies. He mentions the importance of having clear goals and scope when entering projects, especially long-term ones, and being prepared to continually learn and adapt. Additionally, João is developing an innovative app to help people who want to get certified. Using his knowledge of database vectorization, he created a question generation system to facilitate the study process. Although the app is still in development, João hopes to launch it soon and promises to share the link when it is available. This interview is packed with valuable insights for anyone interested in No Code, software development, and building an international career. João Coelho, with his experience and willingness to share knowledge, offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the technology field. -------------------------------------- Links mentioned by João: ???? / j_coelho_ ???? / jo%c3%a3o-coelho-96704025 ???? https://bubble-exam-prep.bubbleapps.i... -------------------------------------- 0:00 - Introduction 2:03 - How João managed to work in Canada 28:00 - Skills to help at Bubble 33:43 - Work routine 35:36 - Experience of working in a company abroad 37:29 - Advice for those starting out 41:59 - What if No Code didn't exist? 42:48 - Career planning for the next few years 47:39 - AIs and No Code 54:53 - João's social media #semcodar #nocode #saas - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ????‍????
