Summary
I am a Software Engineer at Google Cambridge, previously Head of Algorithms at Radix Labs, and worked at Facebook, Quantlab, and Indeed.com.
Master of Engineering in Computer Science, from MIT, with a degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics also from MIT.
I've worked primarily in Algorithms and Performance, and secondarily in Systems and Toolchains, but I have also worked with user interfaces and data visualization tools.
Previous work includes
- implementing Resource Constrained Project Scheduling algorithms from research papers and improving on them, together with implementing a UI for clients to use;
- modifying LLVM to make LTO more friendly for toolchains;
- writing queries to analyse revenue data from advertisers;
- Chatbot to help diagnose code issues faster
- Analyzing an embedded operating system written in rust for unsafe code and exploits;
Originally from Brazil, which I represented in multiple International Science Olympiads. IPhO and IJSO gold medalist, IOAA, IOL, WoPhO and OIaB Silver medalist.
I am a jack of all trades, constantly learning about new areas so I can better interface with people. My background competing in physics, biology, linguistics, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and informatics, together with graduating in electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics gives me a good interdisciplinary background to approach problems.
I also have experience helping take care of multiple types of animals, including armadillos, anteaters, parrots and toucans. My main current hobby is ballroom dancing.
Teaching is also one of my skills and interests. I was a teaching assistant for algorithms at MIT for 3 semesters, with ratings equal or above 6.5/7, as well as the main instructor for a month long algorithm course at MIT in January 2019 with ratings 6.4/7. I am of the opinion that rapid feedback is of main importance when learning new concepts, and courses should use current tools to do so when possible.
Experience
You can see some of the recent things I've worked on on my portfolio or on my resume page, depending if you are interested in my side projects or more on academics and internships.
Awards

I've helped taking care of far too many injured wild animals while I lived in Brazil. It is hard to describe the experience, but you can see some pictures here.
