Angela didn’t hate science. She hated feeling stuck.
She'd hit a wall in her biotech career, and the thought of staying in the same place—unchallenged, uninspired—felt unbearable. But the leap into tech? Intimidating. No degree in computer science. No coding background. Just curiosity, grit, and the weight of motherhood during a pandemic, teaching her to juggle priorities like a pro.
"At first, I thought no-code tools would be too simple to really change anything... I was wrong."
✅ Embraced Softr, Airtable, Zapier, Glide & more
✅ Created "Quero, Posso e Mamo" website to support families with breastfeeding, evolving her 2020 project into a digital platform for content and services
✅ Built a chatbot prototype ("BookGPT") for Prof. Milton Sousa’s leadership book
✅ Shifted from skeptical to strategic: saw no-code as a power tool, not a shortcut
She didn’t just change careers. She changed her rhythm. Her mindset. Her path.
She’s deepening her QA expertise, building solid test strategies, and eyeing leadership in agile environments. Long-term? Maybe mentoring others making the leap. For now, she’s committed to growing with purpose.

After gaining confidence, purpose, and a new lens on her tech potential, Ângela took bold steps to solidify her place in tech. She completed internships at Blip.pt as a Quality Assurance Intern and at SONAE as an IT Project Manager.
In 2025, she officially landed her dream job as a QA Analyst at Content Guru—the very goal she set out for, two years before, when she said, "I want to change careers to QA!"
We couldn’t be happier for having been part of this amazing journey.
In the final stage of the Cohorts, students have the opportunity to create a Capstone Project to showcase what they have learned across the journey. They have the liberty to use whichever tool they want or even explore new ones, promoting their critical thinking and proactivity. Always with the support of our Mentors.
For her capstone project, Ângela decided to evolve her project - "Quero, Posso e Mamo" - into a digital platform, transitioning from Instagram to a functional, client-ready website.
After giving birth to her daughter Maria, Ângela experienced firsthand the challenges and beauty of breastfeeding. That moment sparked more than just maternal instinct—it sparked purpose.
And now, through “Quero, Posso e Mamo,” she’s helping parents navigate those fragile first steps with clarity and confidence.
With tools like Softr, Airtable, Zapier, and Gumroad, she created a space where clients can book services, access content, and feel supported, far beyond the limits of an Instagram DM.
This isn’t just a project. It’s a movement with heart.
Ângela took a leap from chemistry labs to code-free tech. If you’re stuck, curious, or craving a change, maybe it’s your turn. Explore Descodifica-te and discover where no-code can take you.
