About Me

I am a Computer Science student currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Central Florida, after earning an Associate of Science in Computer Science from Valencia College. My academic work focuses on systems, networking, and the development of practical, real-world software solutions.

I bring extensive professional experience as an IT Manager, where I have designed and deployed Windows Server environments, managed enterprise network infrastructure, and implemented secure and reliable systems using virtualization and network segmentation. My work includes configuring Active Directory domains, managing server infrastructure, and improving system performance and reliability across production environments.

I am particularly interested in building structured, AI-driven systems that integrate software with real-world execution. My technical experience includes Python, C, JavaScript, React, FastAPI, Linux, and virtualization technologies such as Proxmox. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I focus on clear, precise communication when working with technical concepts.

This portfolio presents selected work from my Technical Communication course, demonstrating my ability to develop structured documentation, communicate complex ideas clearly, and present technical work in a professional format.

Instructions Assignment
Windows Server on Proxmox

This assignment required the creation of a polished technical instruction document intended for a professional audience. The goal was to present a clear, structured process that could be followed by users with varying levels of experience. For this project, I developed a step-by-step guide for installing Windows Server 2025 on Proxmox VE using VirtIO drivers. I focused on clarity, logical organization, and usability, ensuring that each step was easy to follow and supported by precise technical explanations.

Job Application Materials
Professional Resume

This assignment focused on developing professional job application materials suitable for technical roles. The objective was to present qualifications, experience, and skills in a clear and effective manner. I created a professional resume and cover letter highlighting my background in systems, networking, and software development. In addition, I completed a mock interview reflection to analyze communication strategies, strengths, and areas for improvement in a professional setting.

Proposal Assignment
AI Assistant Proposal

This assignment required the development of a formal proposal for a technical project, including both a structured document and an explanation of its purpose. The focus was on clearly communicating a problem, proposed solution, and expected impact. For this project, I designed a proposal for a local AI assistant system capable of managing tasks and interacting with users in a structured way. The document outlines the system’s architecture, intended functionality, and potential applications, emphasizing clarity, feasibility, and technical relevance.

Additional Work
Solar Flare Research

This undergraduate research project examines the relationship between solar weather, sudden ionospheric disturbances, and VLF signal behavior. It includes a research paper, presentation, and poster developed to communicate the study across multiple formats.
