What is thecoding?

thecoding is the independent contractor brand of Vini Barbosa (Vini B). I turn complex developer and security topics into content people understand, use, and share. The focus is blockchain and Web3.

Main service lanes:

• Documentation Engineering: docs audits, focused rebuilds, and ongoing docs ownership, delivered docs-as-code.
• Developer Education: tutorials, technical articles, learning series, workshops, onboarding paths, and education-shaped DevRel. Sponsored Technical Content is a delivery model under this lane.

The site also hosts selected portfolio work, open recommendations from clients/partners, and practical entry points to start a project.
