About

Thumbnail for About pageI am Felipe Gomes, 22, a 5th year student of Computer Engineering at the Computer Science dept. (ICMC) from University of São Paulo (USP), in the nice city of São Carlos (Brazil), a tech-minded city covered by two important universities (USP and UFSCar).

I live for computer science. My interests range in a wild variety of subjects, including, but not limited to, app and web development using open standards and languages; successful open source initiatives; usability and human-computer interactions; social aspects of the web; digital inclusion in communities.

On the more practical side, my list of recent works and interests involve developing Firefox extensions, XUL apps, rich web applications and environments using JavaScript, database-driven apps, and theoretical comp.sci. stuff in my course at university.

I also do scientific research in my computer science department, were I work with Natural Language Processing, specially involving Machine Translation, and I’m currently developing a full featured online tool for translation assistance, in a project which involves the use of a wide range of linguistic tools built in different open source and open standard environments, including PHP, Perl, MySQL and XML.

More info about my projects will be added here as time permits (remember, besides doing all of this I still have to go to full-day classes and study for tests!).
