About

about

Currently, I am a Professor and Researcher at the Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCE), where I play a key role in developing people. As a lecturer, I teach courses related to computing (programming, databases, operating systems, software engineering). In research, I work as a full-stack developer and technical leader of back-end, front-end, and mobile teams with real-world applications in precision agriculture, medicine, and transportation engineering. I am also an affiliated researcher at the DSBR Group and the NUVEN Laboratory, expanding scientific and technological collaboration across different fields.

From 2021 to 2023, I was the IT Department Coordinator at the Innovation and Technology Diffusion Center for the Semiarid (CIDTS). Since 2019, I have led 12 teams in software development projects (front-end, back-end, and mobile) at the Embrapii Innovation Hub of IFCE and have taught more than 3,000 hours of classes as a lecturer.

In the field of engineering, I am a PhD student at PETRAN (Federal University of Ceará), making scientific contributions in Machine Learning and Computer Vision to benefit transportation infrastructure management.
