About me

Hey 👋, my name is Gabriel. I’m a Brazilian software engineer, researcher, and activist. Welcome to my little cozy web corner!

Interests

I’m interested in free/open-source software, reproductibility, distributed systems, software engineering, and functional programming.

I’ve been into computers, science and math since I was little. I love Linux, Free Software, CLI programs, and design.

Outside of computing, I’m a huge fan of space and science fiction genres (games, books, artwork). I love animals, the planet, and the people who live in it.

Work and Research

I like working on the parts of software development that help make people happier and more productive: reliable environments, reproducible systems, declarative infrastructure, CI/CD, developer experience, and communities where people can learn and contribute.

I currently work full-time at Magalu Cloud, an innovative 100% Brazilian public cloud, as part of the team that handles underlying virtualization, packaging, and deployment orchestration.

I’m also working towards a Computer Science M.Sc. degree at the University of São Paulo’s Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, under the Software Engineering Lab. My current research is around software sustainability in open-source ecosystems.

Communities

I help lead GELOS, the free/open-source software group I co-founded at ICMC-USP. I mentor our members, help build our infrastructure and workflows, organize study groups, and make sure people can work together happily.

I’m also part of and occasionally contribute to the São Carlos Hackerspace and São Carlos Python Group.
