I'm a former web-dev and now wannabe scientist focusing in machine learning. I currently study at UFRJ, one of the best universities in Brazil ;), and also work there in a research project involving information security and machine learning.

My passions are:

• Formal languages
• Low level understanding
• Optimization
• Machine intelligence
• Exploration

I started my path with Visual Basic 5. Soon I found it insufficient, but I liked it, so started C++ and did a lot of interop with them, and sometimes assembly. Then I worked with a friend using PHP4 and Javascript. Now I am a C#4 programmer with 4 years of experience... so I started programming more than 20 years ago, at the age of 13.
