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

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.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Aeronautics Institute of Technology in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.
