About me
I have few experience but considerable with free software projects, I worked on eLugar, was a project for a college subject that consists to visualize open data of the 5,800 Brazilian cities and compare with each other.
It is possible to see some of my contributions below:

I have worked in some other projects to help the literacy of leaf children in a project called DiciLIBRAS, it was a project of technical school, but we did not maintained a control version and nowadays just exists some files of the project, but the goal is to rewrite improving it.
As mentioned I am studying software engineering, I chose this major because I had contact with software development early, with 12 years old and since it I chose to build software for a job and hobby.
Challenges ever was present in my life, because of it I am programming contestant since 2014, overcome and improve myself is things that I find everyday, especially in software development. I am enthusiast of agile methodology, I try to apply some Scrum artifacts in all activities of my life, including study, this works too much for me and helped me to get good things.
Why Fedora Project?
I admire many free software communities, including Fedora, but I still did not contribute with a big free software project and I see in GSoC an opportunity to do it with my favorite distribution. After study the proposal I got more interested to contribute with the project because there are many sub-projects that satisfies my personal interests, even what will happen I want to be a Fedora contributor, would be great if I can contribute with the sub-project that the proposal that I will apply belongs.
My interest is in the Static analysis DB proposal because I have some skills and experience to apply for this project, I works for a while with Python, including with web development. I also have considerable experience in a closed project with secure oriented development and with usage of Flawfinder, Clang Static Analyzer, OCLint and some other tools. I want to gain a opportunity to contribute with a great free software project like Fedora and work with amazing people that is in this community, I have contacted the mentor of project, and I appreciate his help for me, I hope that we have the opportunity to work together.
The project for me is innovative and it will be useful not just for the Fedora Project but could be for the many organizations, I have experienced a similar problem that I had to develop a script to parse the output of a tool to make the code reviews more easier, it was in a closed project in a company that I am development intern. In the final the tool it have to be a thing to help identify all bugs, warnings that the static analyzers notices and rank them according with the importance.
I am prepared and have to be chosen for this proposal because I am familiarized with the proposal because of the experience that I had with the requirements of the tool.
