Work Experience

Software Developer

2018 - PRESENT
High-performance Geophysics Lab (HPG CEPETRO)
  • Translated Matlab tomography into C++/CUDA, reducing memory usage by +25x (+200 GB).
  • Created a novel metaheuristic, achieving a +5x speedup in optimizing seismic objectives.
  • Accelerated seismic algorithms using C++ and parallel programming libraries (OpenMP, CUDA, MPI).
  • Designed UIs in C++, Qt, and OpenGL for 2D/3D wave propagation.
  • Proposed memory optimization in Reverse Time Migration, achieving +2x memory reduction (-1 TB).
  • Secured funding from Petrobras for seismic objective function research.
  • Implemented Adaptive Differential Evolution (JADE) for +2x optimization acceleration.
  • Employed Python visualization tools to enhance Differential Evolution algorithm analysis.

Pureco App

As a member of the Pureco project, I developed the Android Application 'Pureco Limpeza,' simplifying cleaning service contracting for busy Unicamp students and supporting ladies from Vila Esperança, Campinas, Brazil. The app garnered over a thousand downloads on Google Play, facilitated 500+ cleanings, and positively impacted more than four women. This experience honed my Android development skills and introduced me to technologies like Google Firebase. Additionally, I contributed to the Enactus marketing team, forging partnerships with local businesses to expand our initiatives within the Unicamp and Vila Esperanca community, including Lumière English School and Serasa Campinas.

Scadroid

https://github.com/joe-stifler/Scadroid
Revived obsolete computers using a lightweight Linux distribution, integrated them with Arduino and IoT devices, and employed ScadaBR open-source software for resource monitoring and control in a house. Developed Scadroid, an open-source Android App, for remote IoT control and resource usage tracking via ScadaBR.

NP-Hard Problem Solving

https://github.com/joe-stifler/mc658-projects
Solved Labor-Constrained Scheduling using MiniZinc, achieving top results. Tackled Degree Constrained MST with C++ Lagrangian and Evolutionary heuristics, also achieving top results. Solved 5 Integer Programming problems using Julia/Gurobi and Gnumeric/LPSolve.
