About

I am an Information Technology professional with extensive higher-education experience, having served as professor and IT program coordinator at institutions such as FMU, FAM, Impacta, UNICAP and UniBTA. My path combines the classroom, academic management and hands-on technology projects.

I work with Python for data analysis and machine learning, tools such as Power BI, and the design of conversational interfaces (IBM Watson and Dialogflow). As an ad hoc evaluator for INEP (Brazil’s Ministry of Education), I spent three years helping assess and improve national higher-education standards in IT.

My background pairs two master’s degrees — Comparative Literature (USP) and Professional Education (Centro Paula Souza) — with a bachelor’s in Computer Science: a rare blend across technology, education and language.
