From Law to Tech
Built on Logic, Driven by Results
I'm Rodrigo Leite, a Brazilian developer based in Michigan, currently studying Applications Development at Lake Michigan College. My career began in Law, where I spent three years developing a strong foundation in analytical reasoning, structured thinking, and clear communication.
While still in law school, I led the implementation of Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD) at my family's law firm. That project introduced me to the power of technology — and showed me that I wanted to build solutions, not just argue cases.
When my law school closed during a restructuring, I saw an opportunity — not a setback. Instead of transferring and continuing a path that no longer inspired me, I committed fully to tech. I completed a degree in Information Technology in Brazil and moved to the U.S. to take my skills further.
Today, I design and build modern websites and web applications with a focus on usability, performance, and clarity — always thinking strategically and delivering with precision. My goal is to join teams where execution, autonomy, and impact matter.
Analytical Thinking
With a legal foundation, I’m trained to approach problems with logic, clarity, and structure — skills I now apply to development and UI architecture.
Clear Communication
I work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, keeping communication simple, relevant, and solution-oriented. I also support both English and Portuguese.
Focus on Execution
I care about delivery. I ship on time, with a clean codebase, measurable outcomes, and a mindset focused on growth and autonomy.
