...project I've worked on involved cleaning, modernizing, and simplifying legacy code. I was recognized by the team and the company with a 2-level promotion.

Work Experience

Software Development Analyst

2021 - PRESENT

Instituto Atlântico

Created an abstraction to replace legacy C code that was using a lot of pointer arithmetic. When I noticed the new code was following the same approach, I used modern C++ constructs to encapsulate the functionality in a class with a clean interface.
Conducted technical and code interviews for C++ positions. One of the position's required skills wasn't assessed by the company's current coding problem, so I elaborated a new problem statement to evaluate that skill.
Proposed a new approach to naming the tests, giving more descriptive names to tests and variables, making them easier to read and understand. The team recognized the improvement and adopted this new approach.
Refactored a Go codebase to enable builds with different feature flags.

Experience

Compiler for Mini Java

A Java console application for compiling a small subset of Java language. The compiler parses, creates an abstract syntax tree using visitor design patterns, and generates code for a stack-based machine.

Course Scheduler

A Java Swing application created to support coordinators in finding a good fit between professors' availability and the course schedules at the university. Previously, this process was done manually, in excel, and sometimes it was hard to match the availability of all the involved professors. Now, the system keeps track of professors' availability to avoid overlap and ensure they won't be assigned to two lectures simultaneously. It also keeps track of multiple classes and their respective courses for the semester.
