Experience
Fleet2Go
http://fleet2go.com/Fleet2Go is a web application that imports driver and vehicle data from Mix Telematics servers and creates a report used by clients to pay their employees. The reports are used even in law courts when there is and disagreement between the employee and the employer.
The solution was composed of two different applications. One importer that uses Mix Telematics APIs to import data and one application for the end-user can generate reports, customize, and administrate other data. The database had more than one Terabyte of data and was stored in an AWS MySQL RDS container.
I was responsible for all the algorithms, UI, database, and AWS environment administration.

Squash Rules Trainer
http://squashvolt.comThis is a website that allows squash enthusiasts to train their knowledge of the rules of this great sport. Using some squash matches from YouTube and mapping the referees' decisions, the site allows the users to give an opinion before seeing the official decision.
It is hosted using only free Azure services, which makes it slow to load everything at some times.

Gestor ERP
https://noventa.com.br/This is a big app that I helped to create in 2005. I worked on it for five years—choosing the technologies, studying the previous version written in Cobol, creating the first lines of code, designing the database, creating Windows Forms UIs and components, discussing the best approach to solve business process, and much more.
Oil Change App
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkoz2LKiALgThe app is used by oil change shops to help them find the correct oils for specific models. The app has more than 50,000 engines that are easily found, informing users of the manufacturer, type, year, and model of the vehicle. After the correct engine is selected, the app shows (especially but not only) various brands of oils and parts that can be used on that specific car.
The app is used by more than 3,000 fuel stations and oil change shops.
Behind the app, there is an API that is commercialized to other software vendors where they can get vehicle data to be used in other systems. This part was my idea.
