Antonio Da Fonseca

I studied law in Rouen for a few years before choosing tech in 2019, well before ChatGPT made it trendy. No engineering school, no long degree: online bootcamps, personal projects, a lot of practice, and servers that actually went down. That's how I learned — and today I'm a freelance Platform & MLOps engineer, running cloud infrastructure and AI platforms in production.

That shift left me with something useful: knowing how to explain things differently, to a CTO as easily as to someone who never touches code. I deliver documented, transferable work — what I build can be picked up the next day without calling me. I've worked with teams in Paris, the USA and remotely, in French, English and Portuguese.

I played basketball at a semi-pro level in Rouen, medaled at the Paris 10K in 2025, and practice Brazilian jiu-jitsu. All three taught me the same thing: you don't win by improvising, you win by being prepared.
