Presentation

I hold a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Fortaleza (Brazil) in 1995, as recognized by government authorities of Quebec-Canada. I’m currently completing a master's degree in computer science at Laval University. I have several years of experience in information technology acquired mainly as a Software Developer. At the beginning of my career, I worked over than 7 years in a central environment (IBM MAINFRAME 9121), working with Natural/Abadas as a programmer and a Programmer Analyst in a large telecommunication company in Brazil where I had a role of Project Leader in many important projects, like a project to transfer the human resources applications/databases from six telecommunications company privatized by the federal government to another company installation. Later, I worked as a Programmer Analyst for the Department of Public Security of the State of Ceará where I developed an important software for our community as part of a project to support a local government public security program. This software won an innovation prize in a government competition. Then, in a banking institution, the Bank of the North-East of Brazil (BNB), I acquired knowledge in the development of web applications by working with Microsoft (ASP / VB) and Java development environments. In my own company, I worked as a consultant developing web GIS solutions to automate and improve the business processes of my clients. In Canada, as a CGI consultant, I worked as a Java Programmer Analyst in the Ministry of Labor in an Agile Scrum context within the Quebec’s government authentication service. I also worked in the Ministry of Education as Architect Java as part of a standardization project for Java Web services. At Alithya, a Canadian IT company, as a consultant, I worked at Desjardins Bank as a Java developer as part of a Java Intranet Portal, called PIC, in a CI / CD context. At Cofomo, a Canadian IT company, as a Senior Java Developer, I worked within the backend teams of the National Bank of Canada, in the development of synchronous (REST) ​/ asynchronous (Messaging) micro-services developed in Java. These micro services exposed business APIs dedicated to credit and debit card services. Nowadays, I work as a Senior Java Developer at Desjardins Banking, in a CI / CD context. I’m responsible for 2 portals. One, it is the most used portal by employees, and it is an important gateway for all front-line employees who serve members and clients. My commitment, my experiences, and my technical knowledge, as well as my desire to always share, learn and evolve, are part of my personal and professional characteristics that I bring to all the projects in which I’m involved.
