I've been working with software development, software architecture and software engineering since 2003. I've received a PhD degree in Computing Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo and a master's degree in Applied Computing from the National Institute for Space Research (Brazil). I also earned a Google Research Awards in 2016 for my research in software engineering accessibility for individuals with blindness. In the same year, I was a fellow of The Young Leaders of the American Initiative. Politics, economics, guitar, and tennis are my hobbies.
