Hi, I'm Pablo.
I hope you're doing well — or at least doing your best, which frankly is already a respectable achievement these days.
I was born on August 12, 1987, in São Lourenço, Minas Gerais, in southeastern Brazil. Today, I'm the CEO and Director of Grupo Murad / Portal IDEA, which sounds very serious because, occasionally, it is.
My first memory of going online was sometime around 1995, back when the internet made strange noises and everyone involved had to be patient. But I had already been messing around with computers since 1992, probably with more curiosity than common sense. In 1997, I started learning how to program with Delphi 3, and in the 2000s I began studying Python — and, like many questionable life decisions, I simply never stopped.
My academic background is in Law, and I also hold a postgraduate degree in Psychoanalytic Theory and Clinical Practice, both from José do Rosário Vellano University in Alfenas, Minas Gerais. I've also taken a few extra courses, including one at MIT and another at the Berlin School of Business and Innovation — but I'm honestly too lazy to make that sound impressive right now.
I lived in Moscow, Russia, for a year, traveled through different parts of the world, backpacked around, collected stories, made mistakes, survived bureaucracy, and probably complained about airports more than necessary.
I admire people with a sense of humor — any kind, really, as long as it's alive — and people who genuinely care about social causes. I still believe human beings are rough stones worth polishing, even when some days we look more like gravel.
I'm a voracious reader, a film lover, and especially fond of horror movies — because apparently real life wasn't already enough.
