Intrinsic

Software Engineer

Open Robotics

At Open Robotics, I was the "ROS Boss" of the Humble (LTS) release of ROS 2. This involved extensive collaboration with various stakeholders and the development of new infrastructure to streamline the release process.

To address a need in the testing process, I designed and implemented a Test Case Manager tool in Typescript. This tool automates the creation of test cases for different platform permutations and has been employed in several key releases, including ROS 2 Humble, ROS 2 Iron, and Gazebo Garden.

In addition to these responsibilities, I worked on various other projects that required a wide range of technical skills. These included debugging multithreaded executor issues, designing C++ client library features for Nvidia, contributing to NASA's VIPER mission, and integrating different UAV frameworks under a common API.

Robohub

As the Podcast Director at Robohub, I managed an international team and conducted over 100 interviews with key figures in the robotics field. The variety of our interviewees, from academics to industry leaders, allowed us to present a comprehensive view of the sector.

I led the team in expanding our podcast's monthly listenership from 2k to 120k and secured $20k in academic sponsorships. This growth and financial support helped to sustain our operations and extend our reach.

During my tenure, we produced and released 160 podcast episodes. This consistent output, combined with our increased listenership and financial support, illustrates my focus on steady growth and commitment to sharing knowledge in the robotics community.

Robotics Software Engineer | AI and Autonomous Systems | Researcher | Engineer | ROS | PhD

I am a Robotics Software Engineer, currently working in two freelance projects: part-time at FS studio and part-time at Microsoft.

Recently working a lot with robotics simulation in Isaac Sim and Omniverse. I have a PhD in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, and over 10 years of research experience in robotics and autonomous systems. 

My past role at Royal Holloway University involved developing software for mission, task, and motion planning of autonomous marine vehicles, using tools such as ROS, Python, Automated Planning, ROSPlan, and PDDL. 

Before that, I have published papers in top conferences and journals, such as IROS and ICRA, and have been part of the runner-up robotics team in the Latin American Robotics Competition. I am passionate about creating innovative and impactful solutions for real-world challenges, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. I also enjoy teaching and mentoring students and colleagues, and have taught courses on mobile robotics, electrical drives, and industrial installations at Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.
