I grew up in the beautiful city of Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, and lived in Vila Velha for four years. My passion for education and technology started during high school when I had the opportunity to share a bit of my understanding of physics with my classmates :-)
I studied Computer Science at the State University of Maringá in Maringá, Paraná. My enthusiasm for the academic environment motivated me to start a Master's at the same university and department. During this period, I worked at the intersection of human-computer interaction and information retrieval and began my career as a higher education professor. In Maringá, I cultivated many friends playing Choro music.
In Campo Mourão, Paraná, I worked as a higher education professor at the undergraduate level. I taught different courses in computer science, supervised students in research and extension projects, and engaged in academic administration. I also kept playing Choro and even composing during this period.
I pursued my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Queen's University in Kingston, province of Ontario, Canada. My Ph.D. work focused mainly on empirical software engineering and mining software repositories to support packaging management. After graduating, I pursued an industry research career for six years before moving into my current position as an educational scholar faculty.
