Professional / Research

For few year during my graduation and my first year in master course, I worked in industry as software engineer, creating and managing web solutions. Now my research interests are centered around Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) and automatic testing generating in aspect programming (AOP), both using meta-heuristics. This research is advised by Silvia Vergilio, PhD and co-advised by Aurora Pozo, PhD.

Projects

Here are some projects i've been created, participated or made some contributions.
  • CoTWiS (Control System for Wireless Access): This project was done as pre-requisite to obtain my Bachelor degree. It consist in a front-end web aplication interface for manage a wireless network. Moreover, it support to manage bandwith and users (add, kick or ban) that's stored in LDAP or MySQL.
  • CepWS: This is a Web Service that have all information about Brazilian postal code including streets, states, regions and so on. After made, I testing for reveal some faults. In this service, I tested using contracts testing, data pertubation including sql injection and xml injection.
  • GARML (Genetic Algorithm Multi-objective for Rule Learning): This project is an extension about an older project involving local search for learning rules. This is a novel approach with genetic algorithm implementation based in a multi-objective environment.

About Myself

Apart from the research, when I'm home i would like to stay with family, friends or my lovely girlfriend. Moreover on free time sports has my attention (unusual, but possible), also movies, an ice beer, listen a good music (the list of my favorite artists will be too long to fit here, but some of my serious listenings include Pink floyd, Ramones, The Smiths, and several Brasilian artists like as Raul Seixas, Legião Urbana, Gabriel o Pensador, Camisa de Venus). And travel. Travel a lot. Travel always as possible. Work, to get money to after store and spend. Travel is the better way to spend.
