About

It’s in the doing that our being arises. Intact, ready to go, energized by the spirit of risk. Succeed or fail doesn’t matter. Just do. Then rejoice in the doing.

Beach trip, a day before my yearly winter swim

I currently pursue a master’s degree in computer science at Seoul National University (SNU), where I’m a member of the Computational Theory and Algorithm Engineering Lab under the supervision of professor S.R. Satti. My research focuses on applications and implementation of succinct data structures, such as on the succinct representation of Json documents.

Probably my favorite place in SK Planet. After work pool, anyone?

In early 2015 I was a backend engineering intern at SK Planet. I helped develop the then newly released service Syrup Order using node.js. The service was quite new back then, so it was an exciting time to board the team. My role in development mainly revolved around optimization of complex mapping modules and improvements in service reliability, although I did contribute with a participation client-side by extending support for product management with html5, css3 and AngularJS.

Last one out turn off the lights

Before starting my master’s degree I was an undergraduate student at Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) back in Brazil. I wrote my undergraduate thesis under the supervision of professor S.Q. Medeiros on the intersection of programming languages and formal languages, where I implemented the formaly sound RePeg library for regular expression pattern matching in Lua. This library sets itself apart by converting regular expressions to parsing expression grammars, which provide a more concise formal computational model.

During my undergrad I spent a winter vacation at the Brazilian Institute for Space Research. The program included a range of interdisciplinary courses on space technologies along with a practical project, on which we designed and implemented the battery management system of a satellite under the supervision of doctor W.A. Santos.

Just Wolfie chilling by the school fountain

In my junior year in undergrad I went to the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SBU) on an exchange program. During my time in SBU I was granted the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award for attaining a perfect 4.0 GPA on the spring semester of 2012.

Proud finisher of a half marathon

Besides computers I have great interest in photography and sports. I ran a half-marathon on fall 2015 and intend to complete a full marathon in the next year or so. The perfect Sunday afternoon plan is gathering a group of friends over for a backyard barbecue and beer. I am a fluent English speaker, native in Portuguese, and can speak Korean well enough for casual settings.
