I am an Adjunct Professor (between assistant and associate) at the Technological Federal University of Paraná (UTFPR), Brazil, where I teach software engineering, software process, and distributed systems. I also lead the research group (IntelAgir), as well as technological and research projects. After a long period of studies in Brazil, I held my Ph.D. degree in Software Engineering at the IMT Atlantique, France. I also worked for one year as a postdoc researcher at the S2 Group/VU Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where I am still working as an external researcher. My current research lays in modern software architectures and Empirical Software Engineering.

Teaching

Software Engineering

We're modernizing this. The plan is to split it into multiple credits. For now, I'm teaching generic SE, with a focus on software construction, validation and documentation

Introduction to Programming Languages (Not Always)

I teach first period students how and why to use programming languages. Usually, I mix Scratch (logic), C (Hello, world!), and Arduino (sensitive case study).

Distributed Applications

Basics of distributed systems, and case study projects. Java (moving to Python for ditactical reasons) is the main language here (threads, synchronization, remote calls, etc.), with some work on Spring framework. The course also presents some advanced aspects, such as frontend and backend separations, application framework (Spring), REST, RPC and messaging protocols (MQTT, WebSockets, etc.). At the end of the course, the students must deliver their own distributed application.
