Junior Developer
Samsung Electronics
- Developed software to analyze cervical spine deviation.
- Worked with image visualization using C++ with OpenCV.
- Delivered a solution to automatically calculate cervical spine deviation for patients with scoliosis and lordosis using MRI images.
Experience
Cronus Emulator
I worked there as an English-Portuguese translator at first. Then I started developing the emulator's scripts with a custom scripting language. Simultaneously, I started studying C by myself and with the help of the C community. Finally, I started working as a developer on the emulator's core, making improvements, adding new features, and fixing bugs.
After a couple of years, I started coordinating the development team and helping to manage the community.
WAsteroids
https://github.com/wilkmaia/wasteroidsVotaFacil
https://github.com/wilkmaia/votafacil1. Add candidates.
2. Add voters.
3. Start an election (keep track of the current year to select the kind of election).
4. Get the election status.
5. Keep track of past elections (stores data on a simple text file).
It was a project (theme chosen by the students) for a Programming class in the first year of my electrical engineering graduation.
Snake AI
https://github.com/wilkmaia/snake-aiLinear System Solver
https://github.com/wilkmaia/linear-systems-solverOsciloscope Draw System
My group had the mission of implementing the drawing component. We were responsible for receiving the input pixels, lines, rectangles, or area coordinates and showing the corresponding geometric figure on an LCD display.
The project was implemented on SystemVerilog on an ALTERA DE0-Nano FPGA.
Remote Temperature and Luminosity Control
Using a remote control, a user would set the desired temperature and luminosity threshold. The in-place system would then activate the lights or cooling systems when the luminosity or temperature would fall below or above the set thresholds. The remote communication feature was made using RFID, and the project was implemented in C and Assembly.
