About
I am a Brazilian scholar particularly interested about the Maya, Mesoamerica and their calendars, since before I entered the university. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. As an anthropologist, my effort is to understand past and present Maya diversity, including its calendrical aspects, and the importance of time and space in Maya life, thought and ritual.
I am also a FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) enthusiast and a software (specially Web) developer. My PhD dissertation also includes "applied anthropology" (to FLOSS software dev). I am ready to offer consultancy involving anthropology, sociology, quantitative and/or qualitative studies and related areas, as well as technical and technological support and advisement. I currently offer web development and other services at Magia Soft.
Anthropologist, Professor & Web Developer.
Currently a PhD candidate @ História das Ciências, das Técnicas e Epistemologia (HCTE), an interdisciplinary program offered by the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). My independent anthropological research regarding Maya calendars started several years before I started my B.A., back in 2011.

Since 2001, I'm on my own journeys both in Maya and Mesoamerican studies as well as in the FLOSS universe(s), when I migrated my Operational System from Windows directly to FreeBSD. In the past 20+ years, apart from my academic education I had several experiences both as a System Administrator of *BSD and GNU/LINUX and as a software developer, mostly building web apps, but also tweaking with free/libre hardwares, firmwares and so on.
