Highlights:• Conception, creation and development of world’s first case of a signaling based billing platform deployed in Brazil’s biggest carrier (Oi) and responsible for generating revenue flows for the carrier whole landline operation. The platform is a mission critical platform, one of a kind, with a distributed system over 52 sites and over 100 servers capable of processing in real time over 5 billion records a day and costing only a fragment of any alternative solution. • Creation of a data retrieval system using workflow and Hadoop like technology (BIGDATA) for law enforcement. The system searches over 1 trillion records in seconds and uses less then 5% of the usual storage requirements. • Creation and development of Network Management Tools and Revenue Assurance Tools and Services using network signaling information and providing carrier with rich interfaces loaded with business crucial information but still maintaining a web (HTML 5) simple and functional interface. The applications process hundreds of millions of records a day and provide simple graph interface that contains only user relevant data. • Leadership in Mission critical and complex projects that includes: o Payment system using biometry and state of the art cryptography algorithms o Energy Load Curve analysis system o Embark and Disembark control of Latin Americas Largest bus terminal o Metal forge blending calculation software using mathematical linear optimization • Software Development for system like: mobile gaming (one of the first to use 3D rendering on a mobile device), educational systems, High Load Processing, Cryptography solution, Team management control, among others.
