About Me

I studied Computer Science at UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina), I am fascinated by technology and innovation. I have a lot of experience with software development using C++ programming language on real-time systems running on Linux and I’ve also worked with Python and C. I’ve also used VHDL to develop hardware on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) chips.

I completed a embedded software and hardware development internship at AQTech. I was also part of the artificial intelligence and algorithms group in the department of informatics and statistics at UFSC.
I always seek to overcome myself, dedicate myself to what I do and always give my best. I love challenges. My hobbies include practicing physical exercises, going to the beach, visiting new places and acquiring knowledge through books, documentaries, conversations, etc.

Work & Experience

Software Developer

Federal University of Santa Catarina

05/01/2021 - 12/22/2022

I participated in a scientific research project supported by the Institutional Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program. The project was led by me under supervision of the professor responsible for the project. I developed several heuristic algorithms using C++ and Python in order to find optimized solutions to the electric vehicle routing problem. Tests on the code were conducted throughout the project development. I also wrote reports, academic texts and presentations about the research.

Embedded Software and Hardware Developer

AQTech Power Prognostics

I was a member of the company's research and development department. I developed solutions for embedded systems using C++ in different projects of the R&D department. I attended different kinds of meetings, such as project follow-ups, sprints and daily meetings. I developed Software in C/C++ and Hardware in VHDL to the Cyclone V SoC intel FPGA chip. I also conducted tests on the QuartusPrime tool and simulations on the ModelSim program.
