Personal Information

Now I am working for  HI Tecnologia.

Professional Experience

 HI Tecnologia

  • December 2007 - Present
  • Design and development of SCP3 SCADA (Supervisor: Kernel, Viewers and IDE) Platform for Petrobras-BA. (C++, Lua)
  • Design and development of SA, a multi-protocol (MPL,HTTP) authorization server to monitor SCP3 systems (Python,Twisted).
  • Design and development of  SQBS system, a Web-based carbon-credit monitoring portal for Instituto Sadia (part-of BrasilFoods?). (Python,C)
  • Development of an embedded filesystem driver over flash memory for PLC devices. (Rabbit´s Dynamic C)
  • Definition of HI´s internal IT policies and tools, backup procedures and server infra-strucutre. (Linux,Python,Shell Script) That includes the customization of Trac, MoinMoin? and some Django-based internal portals.
  • Design and development of a IEC61131-3 compliant compiler for SFC (petri net-like visual programming language) and ST (pascal-like language) into Ladder. (Python,C)
  • Design and development of P2W, a HTTP based gateway for remote PLC interoperability. (Python)
  • Port a proprietary PLC-2-serial Windows device driver to Linux. (C)
  • Development of Wireshark´s Lua Extensions modules to decode HI proprietary protocols. (Lua)
  • Coordination and co-development of  HI's new web portal (Plone, Zope, Python)

GPr Sistemas

  • December 1995 - December 2008
  • Design of the Clinical Trials Register Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean proposal, presented at the XV Cochrane Colloquium, October 23-27/2007 São Paulo/Brazil, developed under the supervision of Milton Lapido and Abel L. Packer.
  • Design of the ISIS Network Based Platform (ISIS-NBP) proposal under contract with Bireme-PAHO-WHO, and under supervision of Milton Lapido, Abel L. Packer, Adalberto Tardelli and Ernesto Spinack. This is a proposal for a scalable architecture to build digital libraries. This proposal was approved by UNESCO.
  • Design and development of a MRCP MediaServer? (Media Resource Control Protocol) to integrate with CPqD's speech-synthesis engine. Implemented in Python using the Twisted framework, targetting the Solaris platform.
  • Design and development of PAC and PGC projects, mentoring SERPRO dev-team for a project comissioned by the Ministry of Education in Brazil. This project aimed to gather data from all (~200.000) public schools in Brazil. It consisted of a lightweight 3-tier Python web app packed to run off-line and self-contained in heterogeneous desktop systems.
  • Design and development of software components for CPqD's dotIP Project. A customizable, high-performance and fault-tolerant firewall was built based on Linux/iptables and remote controlled by a Python server that talked directly to the Linux kernel. This project was under contract with StarOne/Embratel?.
  • Migration of the Telex Network into MS Windows terminal emulators connected through a X.25 network (X.25 and X.28). Design and implementation of telex emulators, X.25 drivers stack (VxD's) and gateway servers. This project was hired by Embratel.
  • Design and development of a Real-Time Satellite Signal Monitoring System, hired by COMSAT.
  • Design and development of Vehicle tracking system gateway through a GSM network, hired by Controlsat/Schaim.
  • Web Site of the 10th WFPMA/CONARH, hired by Carlson Wagonlit.
  • Consulting services for CCUEC Unicamp about Java and Database access optimizations.
  • CRM System - Desktop and Web versions.
  • Troubleshooting network traffic and profiling applications -- several clients (Windows and Linux platforms).
  • Software for monitoring and analysing local area network traffic.
  • Multi-threaded gateways and Windows 95 VxD device-drivers for dial-up X.25 PAD, TAPI, X.25, X.3, X.28 e X.29 ITU-T.
  • Virtualizing Windows Serial Ports and redirecting data to X.25 device-drivers.
  • Automatic translation tool from C/C++ header files into Object Pascal.
  • Zope and Plone brazilian web portals.
