This project’s purpose was the planning and development of a training platform to be integrated in iTGrow's systems.

iTGrow is a company focused on "attracting, selecting and complementing the formation of young engineers, through training programs and skill training on-the-job."

As such, a training platform, adapted to their needs, is a huge step in the improvement of iTGrow’s business processes. This training platform's main objective is to streamline the whole process of training, by offering training courses and the possibility to manage and attend them.

The web application was implemented in C#/ASP.NET and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 was used for the database.

Academic project developed by a team of 5 members. It's an Android application that helps sports lovers find partners for their sports games.

This app helps you find players for your games in case someone could not show up at the last minute, for instance. It also helps you find games when you are alone and you want to play some sports.

This project consists of a distributed system with two database servers, two GUI applications, and one web application. Every application runs on the .NET platform.

One GUI application is used by users that submit tickets and the other GUI application is used by the users that solve them. The web application is also used by users that submit tickets.

Every application communicates with each other in the system using SOAP web services that were developed using WCF. The GUI applications were developed with WPF and the web application was developed with ASP .NET MVC 5. Microsoft SQL Server was used for the database servers.

Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR) is an algorithm that can be used to develop agents with very solid strategies for massive games of imperfect information. However it requires a large amount of execution time, especially when applied to large extensive games.

This project proposed an implementation of CFR that runs on the GPU, using CUDA, which is able to take advantage of the ability of GPUs to process many parallel streams of data. Using this approach, it turned out to be possible to reduce the execution time in some variants of Poker.

Desktop application that simulates the normal functioning of a factory with several machines and auto-guided vehicles that are able to cooperate with each other to achieve a common objective.

Artificial Intelligence concepts were applied and Java (JADE framework) was the language used to develop this software.

Web application developed in PHP (Yii Framework) and supported by a MySQL database that provides the feature to automatically detect transposable elements in DNA sequences that can be uploaded by users.
