I am a Software Engineer and Computer Science Master's student at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), balancing my time between academic research and open-source development.
My academic research focuses on Electronic Design Automation (EDA), where I explore algorithms to optimize the design and performance of computer chips at the hardware level. Off the clock, I pour my energy into the open-source community, translating incredibly complex systems into clean, accessible user experiences.
Languages & Tools: C/C++, TypeScript, Python, JavaScript
- Software Engineering Intern @ X, The Moonshot Factory (Mountain View, CA)
- Worked on a chip-design research project using C++, focusing on hardware-level design experiments and optimization. This exploratory research evolved into my current Master's thesis direction.
- Full-stack Developer Intern @ Secretaria de Assistência Social (Recife, Brazil)
- Developed and maintained public-sector web systems using Django, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, and Docker.
- Virtual Tabletop (VTT) System Development: Co-maintainer of an open-source complex rule system used by the Foundry VTT community. I engineer TypeScript architectures, game-rule automation, multi-layer vision matrices, and UI workflows.
- Stockfish: Contributed to one of the strongest open-source chess engines through C++ improvements, performance optimization, and iterative code refinement.
- M.Sc. & B.Sc. in Computer Science at UFPE (Academic Indices: CR 8.64 / MC 9.38).
- 17 medals and top placements in programming, mathematics, and physics olympiads, including 7th place in the Brazilian Olympiad in Informatics (OBI).
Open-source development is a labor of love, usually fueled by late nights, rigorous debugging, and a passion for problem-solving.
As a student, even the smallest contribution goes a very long way. If the open-source projects and VTT systems I help maintain have saved you time, automated a tedious task, or helped make your game nights run smoother, a small tip is a massive morale boost. Your support goes directly toward funding my late-night code reviews, treating me to a nice weekend lunch, and allowing me to dedicate more free time to maintaining and expanding these projects.
Thank you so much for dropping by and supporting open-source code!
