Additional graduate-level education
CAREER TRAJECTORY
Continuous development across academia, engineering and entrepreneurship.
Research, formal education, software development and professional work have progressed in parallel throughout my career, with each area informing the others.
1992–1998
Early software and computer-systems development
Software development began alongside undergraduate studies. Development of the OFERBUS public-transport software started in 1992 and continued through the decade; its formal software registration in Brazil occurred in 1996.
1998–2000
Graduate research in computer systems
MSc work deepened the systems trajectory through performance analysis, parallel and distributed computing foundations, and real-time scheduling.
1999–2010
OferBus Assessoria e Informática
Entrepreneurial and applied-technology work continued the evolution and use of public-transport software while adding consulting, information systems and operational problems to the technical trajectory.
2000s
Embedded systems and hardware/software integration
Research and development expanded through embedded systems, digital hardware, operating systems, design automation and cyber-physical systems.
2008–2011
Doctoral research in Automation and Systems Engineering
Doctoral work connected architecture, optimization and embedded-system design through multi-objective design-space exploration.
2011–present
UFSC — teaching, research and supervision
Academic work at the Federal University of Santa Catarina includes teaching, research, supervision, scientific software and institutional responsibilities.
2019–present
Simulation, GenESyS and biological computing
Development of GenESyS and research in simulation have progressively connected with biological computing, systems biology and computational models of cellular systems.
2026–present
AI-enabled systems, analytical software and new ventures
Current projects extend the systems trajectory into intelligent agents, AI-assisted workflows, analytical web systems, automation and new technology initiatives.
PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Science, engineering and execution.
I have never viewed research, engineering and software development as isolated activities. My work has consistently moved between conceptual models, computational architectures and working systems.
This perspective shapes both my academic work and the technology projects I choose to develop: understand the system, model the constraints, build the appropriate architecture and validate what actually works.
