Lauro Valente’s Summary

My main goal is learn. Learn every possible thing. Learn about languages and other cultures, artificial intelligence, computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition...
I feel myself really good when learning. So that I am planning to study a Master and a PhD in a near future.

As I said, I like to learn languages and other cultures. That brought me to Germany in 2007 for an interchange program, where I could improve my already-ok German. Nowadays I feel myself pretty comfortable speaking and understanding german. I can also speak fluently english and portuguese (the latter as native speaker). I am still improving my only-basic french, though.

During my college I intended to intern for as many companies as possible, due to the fact that I wanted to know the area, in which I would have more pleasure to work.
That let me with a wide range of knowledge in different areas: I have already worked with embedded systems, applications and databases, doing some tests, development and designing.

When I entered in College (2003), I had no ideas what Linux was, but then I learned so much good things about it, that it has became my favorite desktop/development environment since 2005. Nowadays I consider my knowledge pretty good in such system, but I still see a whole world to learn from it - and I think it will be like that forever.

In my internships I have worked in three companies with CMMI level 5, what makes me feel good working with full software life cycle. I hope this small brief made you curious to keep on reading my profile. Any doubts, please feel free to contact me.
