Professional Experience

After receiving my B.S. degree, in 1986, I have been working as a system analist, Informatics consultant and teacher.

As a system analist, I have developed more than twenty small and medium size business systems, in the area of insurance brokerage, electric and mechanic car repair shops, television and video cassette repair shops, fertilizer retail stores, motorcycle dealers, electric appliance repair shops, perfume retail stores, video-rental stores, odontological attendance, publicity agencies, etc.

From 1995 to 1998 I was a teacher at the Informatics Department of the University of Franca., teaching the subjects "Information Systems I and II" in the Computer Science Undergraduate Course and at a specialization course in System Analysis.

At the present moment I am only studying to get my doctor degree at ICMC. I have a financial support from FAPESP.
