I currently work at Async Open
Source, a company that provides development and consulting
services focused on on Free Software. I helped found Async in early
1999.
Since 2004, I've been actively involved in Launchpad development, and in 2005
I became application manager for the project, together with Steve Alexander. These days
I lead a team of over 30 people working on building a platform for
the future of open source development and collaboration.
In 2003, I somehow managed an MSc degree from USP São Carlos, where I
wrangled out my dissertation on defining a Process Model for Free
Software Projects. My MSc project is described in two long documents (in portuguese). I
graduated in Computer Engineering from UFSCar in 1997, though most of that
time evaporated into swimming pools and bike trails.
A couple of years ago (just as I had decided I wanted nothing to do
with computers) I discovered Free Software and Unix, and I've been
working on both ever since then. I've contributed to dozens of
free software projects, and I am currently an active developer for
Bugzilla, PyGTK, ZODB, Kiwi and IndexedCatalog.
I've worked with Web development (who hasn't?) and Usability,
additionally, in the past years.
When I'm not pretending to be a software engineering manager I
engage in outdoor sports, travelling, language and vain philosophy. I've raced mountain bikes
for a couple of years now, and from 1999 to 2003 I raced a number of
national-level adventure races, including the multi-day EMA 2000 and
2001.
