My name is Kennedy Tedesco. I was born in Brazil 🇧🇷, and I'm also an Italian 🇮🇹 citizen. I primarily work with PHP (a Laravel specialist), but I have a real crush on Rust, system-level programming, interpreters, parsers, and more.

I was one of the contributors to Ara Lang. I contributed to this project to work with Rust and deepen my understanding of parsers.

Ara was a powerful, statically typed programming language that compiled directly to PHP. It was designed to be easy to use and efficient.

I contributed to the project by adding new features, fixing bugs, and improving the overall codebase, primarily working on the parser written in Rust.
