About me
A Senior Software Engineer and Computer Science researcher working at the intersection of software engineering and human values. With over 15 years of industry experience and a PhD in Computer Science, my research interests include software engineering, human-centered computing, and empirical research.
Pioneer in the empirical study of empathy as a core human factor in software engineering, including its effects on productivity, software quality, developers’ well-being, collaboration, and mental health. I have published in leading venues, including ACM TOSEM and IEEE Software.
🏆 My research has been recognized with a Distinguished Paper Award at the 2023 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering, Research Track and a finalist placement for Best Paper in the Industry Track at the 2024 International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (ICEIS).
As a visiting Researcher at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), funded by the competitive CAPES PrInt Fellowship, I had the opportunity to work on international studies examining software team practices and collaboration.
I have experience in teaching and outreach, working with students from both traditional Computer Science programs and non-CS backgrounds. I’m a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in technology, and I’m currently serving as a Community Manager at BRAVAS in Tech.
Currently, I serve as an active reviewer for top-tier software engineering venues, and I’m a member of the program committee for several conferences, contributing to the research community through peer review and service.
