👨🏻‍💻 Hackathon: Facebook São Paulo 2015

In 2015, I was selected to join the Facebook Hackathon São Paulo, hosted at the company’s office in the heart of Vila Olímpia.

The selection process started with a HackerRank challenge — a 50-minute timed technical test focused on algorithms and data structures. Only a few candidates were invited to move forward and participate in the on-site hackathon. That made it even more rewarding to be selected.

The hackathon brought together developers and engineers from across Brazil. The goal: build something meaningful in 24 hours, using the Facebook platform or solving real social/technical problems.
