Jefferson Silveira Prestes

I graduated in Information Systems at PUCRS and I have been working as a developer for 4 years, I have developed a series of usable skills for work. During my undergraduate course I was delighted with a full scholarship to study abroad by the Brazilian program called Science without Borders, given my excellent results in Brazil. During this period, I completed two terms at the University of Waterloo (UW), allocated in the faculty of Computer Science. In Brazil, I worked at Zero Defect Test House, automating functional test with Selenium RC and JAVA technologies. I also designed test cases and test scenarios. I worked as a developer in an internship at the Center of data processing of the city of Porto Alegre ? PROCEMPA. In this internship, I had the opportunity to develop web systems in JAVA using the Eclipse IDE and technologies as Hibernate, JBoss server, MySQL with a team of 5 people using SCRUM AGILE methodology. During my period in Canada I started to work for Lakes Environmental Software. There, I worked translating legacy code from Delphi to C++ in order to optimize a Map Render Library used by the company. I developed a C# application to consume these libraries in C++ and gave support for the C++ libraries in Linux. Then, I was allocated in an incubator inside Lakes to help a startup called Zebu. My tasks consisted the following: to help developing the Android side of the app in Xamarin, also adding common code to be consumed by IOS side. After that I started working in the server side of the application using Odoo Open Source ERP and CRM Framework (Python and JavaScript). Finally, I started a Desktop application that should be wrapper for the web application using technologies as Electron, Node.JS, TypeScript, Gulp and more. In my latest task, I was translating JavaScript code developed in the server side to TypeScript. When an undergraduate student, for my conclusion work, I developed a methodology to allocated the best person in a task given a set of skills, using Generic Algorithm to compute the results. This work gave me the award of best Conclusion Work of the 2015/1 graduates in Information Systems ? PUCRS, given by ASSESPRO-RS. I also worked as a Volunteer in a program called Projeto Rondon. In this program I helped to organize a fest called Mistura Cultural (Culture Mix) to celebrate the different cultures we have in Brazil. This helped me to develop interpersonal skill and took me out of my comfort zone.
