I was a Senior Consultant at PYYNE Digital, a software business and development consultancy in New York. While there, I was assigned to two flagship clients: Pack Digital and The Meet Group (TMG). In between these, I worked with internal products development, namely PYYNE's time-tracking tool. I was responsible for coming up with the new algorithm for dealing with paid time off at the Brazilian of

I worked a few projects during this period. One involved a React UI for a workforce management and scheduling application. A key challenge was the UI lagging due to unnecessary re-renders and long node lists on screen. We solved this with the memoization hook and render bypass checks.

I was also involved with preliminary talks about a new product. We held a few workshops regarding Domain Driven D

I was a full-stack developer at the backoffice squad and worked on building several inventory, finance, and supplies reports and dashboard screens and corresponding APIs (see stack below). This allowed our clients to improve their strategy with useful, interactive charts and timely data. It was important to aggregate numbers without affecting first-class ops (like sales), so I carefully designed o

I was a key member of the core team and worked full-stack from Apache Spark Big Data algorithms to the main application REST API and web UI⁠—and then deploying all that on Amazon AWS. Our product had to handle large datasets (in the GBs range), so I helped build features to offload parsing to browser worker threads (and to keep the main UI thread free), react to server-sent realtime events (via se

I designed an end-to-end cloud solution that automatically pulls data from public sources and updates a database. An admin dashboard shows analytics, historical data, and interactive maps & charts. Guest users can browse businesses online anytime, anywhere. It is possible to download a CSV list of suppliers and upload that into a CRM, for instance. This application uses AMQP/Rabbit MQ messaging an

2005's Microsoft You Can Make a Difference

I started a 2nd major in Computer Engineering a few years after I graduated from Biosystems Engineering. My first contact with a computer was at my cousin's; he slid in a 3.5 floppy disk and ran some MS-DOS command. Suddenly, we were playing Pokémon blue—monochromatic blue. I was fortunate enough to attend a school with ahead-of-its-time computer classes. I joined the computer club, edited the sch

After Biosystems Engineering, I wanted to dig my teeth deeper into the tehcnological side of biological systems; specifically, my goal was to work with computer modelling of physical systems. I was admitted to ESALQ, one of the world top 10 schools in agricultural sciences. I originally pitched designing a "tropical" version of terranimo.dk, but life happened and we settled for researching an inst

Completed a Master's (Mestrado) in Agricultural Systems Engineering, including research culminating in a dissertation on an instrument assessing a key metric used in cultivated land management.

One day back in the 90's, my cousin invited me to play Pokémon blue on his MS-DOS PC. From that on, I never left computers. I joined my school's computer club, attended Informatics Olympics, started webdesigning! But then in high school I met biology. Bam! I was hooked. I liked computers but cells too, what now? I applied for the former, but didn't get in. I'm thankful, though, because a year late

Completed a Bachelor's degree in Biological/Biosystems Engineering focused on using technology and engineering to support a more sustainable world.
