I help companies improve the quality of their processes and products by: - Using software testing best-practices and methodologies (allied with my 4.5 years of experience in IBM and HP) to significantly reduce the number of defects found in an application (up to 80%). - Uniquely combining my testing experience with my 4 years of experience as Java web applications developer, to write (and help others write) software with less bugs. - Implementing changes to processes (based on my experience and knowledge of testing and process improvement), making them more lean and efficient (e.g .: reduced test development time by 40%). I'm also ready to leverage my experience in Incident Management (3rd-level user support) and Change Management to help your enterprise achieve its goals. Does your company need help in any of those areas? Please contact me!

Software Process Model: application in a junior enterprise

Proceedings of the 4th Brazilian Congress On Computer Science|2004

Based on literature, we believe that the use of a software development process will contribute to the improvement of the quality of NPI's software, helping to resolve the aforementioned problems.
