OmbuLabs: Why did you decide to become a developer?

Cleiviane: I didn't decide at first. When I went to college I had no idea what a developer was.

I had the opportunity to do an internship in a few areas like DBA and QA. But it was only when I started an internship with software development (to work with C#) that I really started liking the area. I've been working with it ever since.

OmbuLabs: What do you like most about OmbuLabs?

Cleiviane: One of the things that I like the most about OmbuLabs is that we value the balance between work and life, this is widely appreciated and incentivized in the company. No one will ever ask you to sacrifice your weekends, to work more hours than you should and it's okay if you need to have a mental health day. Our health comes first.

OmbuLabs: What is a personal thing you would like to share about you?

Cleiviane: I can't swim, I don't like wine and I have two cats. My biggest dream is to travel the world.

OmbuLabs: What do you like to do when you're not working?

Cleiviane: I like playing video games, recently I've been playing Destiny and Fortnite.

I'm also having guitar lessons and really enjoying it.

I also like to travel, go to the beach and watch tv series.
