Education and teaching

Learning, applying, and sharing.

He holds a degree in Information Systems from Uniaraxá and has completed postgraduate specializations in Software Engineering; Database Administration; Systems Development with Python; Artificial Intelligence and Data Science; Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technologies; Higher Education Teaching and Active Learning Methods; and Psychology in the Digital Age.

As of October 2026, he is pursuing seven specializations at Faculdade Metropolitana, with completion expected in November 2026: Data Science and Big Data Analytics; Industry 4.0; Cybersecurity; Occupational Health and Safety; Artificial Intelligence and Gamification in Education; Generative AI and Intelligent Agents for Business; and Brazilian Tax Reform in Practice. He has also completed USP extension courses in prompt engineering and leadership.

In 2018, he taught a single PHP programming workshop at Uniaraxá as a one-off activity, without an ongoing teaching appointment. His current teaching role is at SENAI. He takes part in technical events, live streams, and podcasts, and makes the open FireDAC course available on his YouTube channel.

Projects and official channels

Knowledge that goes beyond the books.

His independent projects include RadIA, an AI assistant integrated into the Delphi IDE; Boss4D, a dependency manager; AgentKit4D, focused on quality and automation; delphi-unit-backtrace, for dependency analysis; and libraries for the Horse ecosystem. He also has a history of contributions to Projeto ACBr.

He organized the free Entender e participar collection, comprising 123 educational guides in Portuguese across nine reading pathways on citizenship, democracy, institutions, rights, information, and technology. The materials include sources for reference, browser reading, and free PDFs, with no registration required. The channels below bring together his background, technical work, and further learning materials.
