Hi! I'm Maria de Lourdes Diguero Ferreira

Hello, welcome to my Fab Academy cave! My name is Maria de Lourdes Diguero Ferreira, but it’s easier if you call me Marilu. I’m 17 years old and I’m retaking Fab Academy. But… why am I taking it again? I couldn’t complete it, and I simply wasn’t going to leave it abandoned somewhere collecting dust, so I went back and finished it once and for all. Thanks to this, I’ve been able to see how part of this experience works, and I’ve come up with ideas I want to experiment with during my time here. I’m interested in languages like Rust and C/C++, although I have the most experience with C/C++ and Python I just don’t really click with the latter. It’s very likely that during the fab I’ll mostly be using C/C++ and Python, but I’d like to experiment with introducing Rust to embedded systems (even if it’s just for programming week).
