About Me
My interests in computing include free software, software engineering, systems development, operating systems, and compilers.
I started to play around with embedded systems in 2020 and since then, I never stopped. I fell in love with the Linux operating system and in 2021, I decided to start contributing to this exciting operating system. I contributed to a few open-source projects during my journey, but mostly to the Linux Kernel, especially the DRM subsystem.
I still enjoy working with embedded systems and like programming in Rust, C, and C++. Moreover, in my spare time, I enjoy programming old-school embedded systems in assembly. I’m familiar with the x86, ARM, and MIPS assembly.
I’m a Computer Engineering student at the São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC-USP). During my time at the university, I served as an Embedded Systems Monitor and developed a research paper to analyze the application of Embedded Linux in soft real-time applications.
Outside of computing, I enjoy listening to vinyl, playing board games, playing retro games, and traveling.
I have been a passionate Fedora user since Fedora 34. I have been looking to get involved with the community through the Fedora Ambassadors project.
