Since 2004, I've been actively involved in
development of Launchpad, and in
2005 I became application manager for the project, together with Steve Alexander. These days
I lead a team of over 30 people at Canonical 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.
I am a partner at Async Open
Source, a company that provides development and consulting
services focused on on Free Software. I helped found Async in early
1999.
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.
