|
|
I live in [Jundiaí, SP, Brazil](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-23.1964/-46.8778) with my wife and four cats. I have a degree in [Electrical Engineering](https://www.fee.unicamp.br/) by [UNICAMP](https://www.unicamp.br/unicamp/) and I have been working as a software engineer for more than 10 years, mainly using [Python](https://www.python.org/) for **web projects** and **web scraping**.
|
|
|
|
I am also the co-founder of [Laboratório Hacker de Campinas](https://lhc.net.br), a hackerspace in [Campinas, SP, Brazil](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-22.9206/-47.0608).
|
|
|
|
In my free time I enjoy homebrewing ([eventually I blog about that](https://receitasdecerveja.com.br)) and woodworking (when I am able to spend an entire day at the hackerspace).
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I publish some videos in my [Peertube account](https://peertube.lhc.net.br/a/rocha/video-channels) about software development in general.

## Projects
|
|
|
|
I am the maintainer of the following open source projects:
|
|
|
|
- [Querido Diário](https://queridodiario.ok.org.br/) is a platform that crawls and scrapes official documents of Brazilian cities and making them more easily accessible to the general public.
|
|
|
|
- [Spidermon](https://github.com/scrapinghub/spidermon/) is a extension that helps to monitor the execution of web crawlers developed with [Scrapy](https.scrapy.org) framework.
|
|
|
|
- [Joker](https://github.com/lhc/lhc-telegram-bot) is a **Telegram Bot** developed to run in [my hackerspace](https://lhc.net.br/) [Telegram channel](https://t.me/lhc_campinas). It provides a set of useful (or just funny) commands for calendar, finance reporting, [pizza math](https://github.com/lhc/lhc-telegram-bot/blob/main/src/joker/commands/pizza.py) and others.
|
|
|
|
- [DojoPuzzles](https://dojopuzzles.com) is a page that helps participants of [Coding Dojo](https://codingdojo.org/practices/WhatIsCodingDojo/) sessions to choose a suitable problem to be solved. I created this project many years ago, when I organized these sessions. There are not many updates since them, but it is still very used in Brazilian community.
