+title: 42 Piscine
+date: 2025-08-30
+---
+During the month of July 2025, I had the opportunity to participate in the 42 Piscine in Perpignan, France. This intensive coding bootcamp was a unique experience that challenged my skills and pushed me to my limits. After an entire month of rigorous work, I managed to be selected among the candidates to be part of the 42 school.
+
+it was an unique experience and I learned a lot of things in the short amount of time, I look forward to continue to learn during my time at 42 and apply that knowledge in real-world projects.
