The most amazing...
...challenge I've taken over is the development management of a terribly written logistics system for oil and gas, making it work well and evolve.
Work Experience
Lead Developer
Tecgraf Institute, PUC-Rio
- Took over the development of a large, poorly regarded, poorly written third-party logistics system for a large oil and gas company.
- Refactored, re-wrote, and documented several parts of the system.
- Fixed countless pre-existing bugs, often by rewriting entire portions of the code, substituting it with clear, robust solutions.
- Made the system resilient and fail-resistant in an inhospitable environment, reading from and writing to other systems filled with data inconsistencies and frequent unannounced interface changes.
- Made huge improvements to performance through query adjustments, proper use of caching, UI optimization, and changes to the architecture.
- Developed an excellent relationship with both clients and users, who began to trust us and request new features for a system they had previously given up on.
Candidate Evaluator
Tecgraf Institute, PUC-Rio
- Integrated a small group of developers and managers responsible for evaluating candidates for positions in the Distributed Systems group of the Tecgraf Institute.
- Helped create the candidate evaluation process still in use today.
- Conducted dozens of candidate interviews and assessments.
- Evaluated dozens of candidate sample projects and led project assessment interviews.
- Had had a high rate of success hiring productive, high quality, motivated professionals who have contributed positively to our team.
Senior Developer
Tecgraf Institute, PUC-Rio
- Helped create and develop three separate logistics applications for a large oil and gas company, responsible for oil allocation, import/export of oil and oil products, and inventory of oil and oil products. All three systems are in production to this day and have a large demand for continuous evolution.
- Quickly rose in trust and responsibility within the project, often splitting management tasks with the project manager.
- Worked on every aspect of the projects, from the database to the UI, and from the build configuration to continuous integration.
- Integrated application data with a solver written in C++ using OCCI.
- Created several reusable components and APIs that have been used in many of the institute's other projects since.
