About Me - Professional
I'm a Computer Science Student at Unisinos - Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil, and work since 2001 at LEC (Cognitive Studies Lab) under Professor Léa Fagundes orientation. I started work at LEC during my High School course, when I was studied Industrial Computer Technics at Senai(National Industrial Learning Service). In my time work at LEC, it was possible learn a lot of technologies and much about Free Software development, witch I adopted as a life philosophy. Those happen because I could identify many dreams that I had when was a kid into the possibilities presented by community, first as fun possibility and now as a reward of life. However, as a LEC member, I was have to learn many different things as educational computing, how to teach and instigate a teacher or student to search new ways of the computer using. Thus, I was became a tutor in several remote courses at LEC, and I can see how the people understand the use of the computer into the classroom. All those bring me a good base for my understand of the educational software development, therefore I believe that I can contribute a lot.
My main knowhow of development involve some technologies like PHP5, Python, Ruby on Rails, SQL, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and ActionScript, and some design patterns, mainly MVC. My career is divided in two parts: educational development, sometimes into the classrooms, I always see the softwares in action. And commercial development more directly with websites construction and Drupal customization and advice for some companies and persons.
