Software Developer & Researcher
Brazilian software developer, scientific researcher and founder of ARCO Consulting, working across software engineering, cloud, DevOps and applied AI. Based in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
About
I’m a Brazilian systems analyst and scientific researcher, working at the intersection of software engineering, DevOps, cloud and applied AI. I hold a B.S. in Information Systems from Fundação Hermínio Ometto (FHO, 2025), awarded with a partial merit-based tuition scholarship, and spent two years building backend and desktop ERP systems in Java before moving into scientific research.
Today I split my time between research — studying Shift-Left Security in CI/CD pipelines as a part-time Scientific Researcher at FHO — and practice, leading ARCO Consulting, a software consultancy delivering solutions and digital transformation for small and mid-sized businesses.
Objective
Applying to master’s and Ph.D. programs in technology and computer science in the United States, with a research or teaching assistantship, targeting a Fall 2027 start.
Research
An undergraduate thesis, an independent industry study and my current work as a Scientific Researcher.
Google Scholar profile ›2024–2025
Designed and built “Slotfy,” an AI-assisted scheduling platform in Java 17, Spring Boot and PostgreSQL, applying formal software engineering practice with UML and BPMN process modeling.
2025
Designed and ran an empirical study on GitHub Actions consumption, proposing a Draft Pull Request workflow and automating data collection with custom Bash scripts over a 48-day comparison window.
Manuscript in preparation for submission to arXiv.
Filipe-Cutri/optimizing-cicd-with-draft-prs ›2026–present
Empirical research on Shift-Left Security practices in CI/CD, embedding SAST/SCA tooling into Git and Docker-based pipelines and measuring their impact on Mean Time to Detect and build performance.
Experience
Fundação Hermínio Ometto (FHO)
Applied research in Computer Science focused on software engineering and DevOps practices — empirical methodology, pipeline instrumentation and scientific writing connecting academic research to practical development.
Founded and lead a software consultancy that builds websites, systems and digital transformation projects for small and mid-sized businesses. I run the full cycle — technical diagnosis, architecture, implementation and evolution — in Java, PostgreSQL and cloud.
VR Software
Worked on the development and evolution of an ERP system, focused on fiscal modules. Used Java and PostgreSQL to implement complex features, ensuring code quality through automated testing (JUnit) and continuous integration via Git, in a Scrum-based agile team.
UNDP · Les Cayes, Haiti
International humanitarian mission in partnership with UNDP. Planned, assembled and configured computer labs for a local vocational school in a resource-constrained setting — part of an operation that moved 70 tonnes of material from Brazil and built the infrastructure for community training in areas such as IT and mechanics.
