Quick Biography
I'm currently a PhD student in Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science (also know as ICS) in University of California, Irvine. I was admitted to UCI in Fall 2010 and currently pursuing my degree.
I graduated from University of Campinas, Brazil, as a Computer Engineer, and worked for 2 years as a Software Engineer in the Linux Technology Center in IBM - Brazil. I was involved with bug fixing of Linux installers (Red Hat, SUSE), developing for the OpenSimulator project in IBM's Lotus 3D endeavour, and finally developing and bug fixing KVM for Red Hat's RHEV application.
My interests are in Software Engineering, Virtual Worlds, Free and Open Source Development, Distributed Systems and Networking.
