History
It all started at the age of 10, when I learned how to program on a TK-90X. Back then, I recognized the difficulties of developing real systems. The complexity of the task challenged me, and I decided I would work with computers for the rest of my life, investigating better ways of developing software and using them to enhance people's capacities. In 1999, I majored in Computer Engineering at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Brazil, where I made my first contact with the Web, a technology that I fell in love with, mainly because of its potential for connecting people and changing the world. I pursued my master's degree and Ph.D. at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) in 2002 and 2006, respectively. For my doctoral dissertation, I proposed a component-based architecture to engineer web-based collaborative systems. After my Ph.D., I moved to the University of São Paulo (USP), where I stayed from 2008 to 2016. In 2017, I moved to the USA as an Associate Professor at Northern Arizona University (NAU), where I currently develop my teaching and research activities as a Full Professor.
