Research & Development
In 2021 I’ve transitioned to industry, while maintaining my (now part time) role at UFPA. I’ve worked five years at Zup Innovation, conducting research & development initiatives to improve the software development process and tools. In 2026 I started at iFood Tech, working on LLM assessments. This move reflected a lot in my research agenda. My current research focuses on machine learning and language models to improve software engineering tasks.
In the past, I had broader interests, including refactoring (e.g., JSS’2019), human aspects of software development (e.g., ICSE’2018), and open source software (e.g., ICSE-SEET’2019).
You can see my list of publications here, along with all preprints. I also maintain my cv of failure.
