About Me

I am a Christian, a happy husband, and a proud father of two.

My hobbies are programming, science fiction (both books and movies), and lots of other nerd stuff. Is drinking coffee ☕ a hobby?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7, ESV)

Education and Professional Experience

I hold a BSc and PhD in Computer Science from the University of São Paulo, São Carlos, Brazil. I was a visiting scholar in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University, Tempe, USA, in 2016. I was an Assistant Professor at the Aeronautics Institute of Technology in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, from 2018 to 2024. Since 2020, I am an Affiliate Professor at the same institution and at Federal University of São Paulo serving as a permanent member of the Graduate Program in Operations Research. Since 2025, I am a Researcher at Instituto Curvelo, a non-profit Science, Technology and Innovation institution in Arujá, São Paulo, Brazil, where I also serve as Scientific Director.
