Automated Fingerprint Identification System

https://www.vsoft.com.br/produto/biopassid
The first Brazilian automated fingerprint identification system has error rates that compete with the best algorithms in the world. I developed the entire process, including research of biometric traces; feature extraction from fingers; enhancement of digital images; and matching of different images using techniques such as graphs and AI. According to several agencies and labs in the world, the system acquired error rates below 0.4% on individual recognition. It is being used across many domains in Brazil and the world.

Integration of National Process Submission

Integrated federal government software into the Federal University of Paraíba's system, enabling the university to send and receive processes from any government agency. I used a lot of API concepts to get the data and adapt it to the local reality. This integration eliminated more than 90% of the costs for using paper and sending faxes.

Improvement of GPS Data to Suggest Different Routes

Made significant contributions to a project focused on managing the GPS data collected from equipment and vehicles to suggest and create better routes, which would increase the benefits and profits for users.
