About

Hello world! :)

I'm a Brazilian-French requirements and software engineer based in Germany. I'm curious, driven, and passionate about technical topics. I grew up in Brazil, where I got my bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science. In 2016, I moved to Germany where I initially worked on a few research projects before formally starting my PhD in computer science at the end of 2018.

My PhD journey has been incredibly valuable and stands out as one of the most significant experiences in my life. In December 2022, I successfully defended my PhD thesis titled "Requirements Engineering for Explainable Systems" and received the highest honors (summa cum laude). My thesis was also lauded as one of the top computer science theses of 2022 by the German Informatics Society.

Currently, I'm working as a Business and Product Analyst at the Volkswagen Group. My primary goal is to leverage my diverse accumulated knowledge and expertise to effectively manage system project requirements, ultimately contributing to the development of exceptional tech products.

CV (Excerpt)

Research

I am interested in the interplay between information systems and society. More particular, I focus on strategies for helping software engineers comprehend stakeholder requirements and translate them into high-quality solutions.

During my PhD, my main are of study was requirements engineering (a subfield of software engineering) applied to explainable systems. Through an interdisciplinary approach, I explored the impact of explainability as a new quality requirement for modern information systems and provided theoretical and practical tools to support software engineering and explainable system requirements.
