Jan - Oct 2017	Personal project and freelances Developing a social network with some colleagues. Also developed some software in React/Redux/SASS/Bootstrap4-Foundation + NodeJS + MongoDB which involved third-party APIs such as googleMaps and googleCalendar. Some of the functionalities are Forms, validation, authentication with a token (JWT), testing with Mocha, maps, and calendars. Modern templates were designed for a better user experience. In one of the projects I also wrote in Angular, it was pretty nice to see the differences in design thinking and in performance.
Mar-Dec 2016	Academic Internship in Social Complex Networks Implemented and analyzed alternative small-world and scale-free models and its properties such as degree distribution, diameter, assortativiness, transitivity, mean shortest path, etc. Investigated navigation in different networks in order to understand the importance of clues in the structure when finding short paths without global knowledge. Also studied different models of growing networks (communication, biological, neural, commerce, and social networks) and the consequences of each model which motivated him to compile all properties in a single model for growing that can be applied to different areas by adjusting the values of constants.

Oct 2017 - Mar 2018: Full-stack developer - LivUp

Member of a team, with 4 developers, a Designer (UX) and a project leader, responsible for modernizing the company’s website in terms of computational language and architecture: from EJS/ES5 to React/Redux. The objective was to serve and capture a greater number of customers (scalability) by offering a more pleasant experience for users.

The tools used to organize the work were GitHub, for coordinating the code, Asana for creating and distributing tasks and Slack for communication between the team. The Agile methodology used was SCRUM, with all its rituals: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint demonstration and its retrospective. During the process, we sought to define the story we wanted to tell, its tasks and the definition of Done for each of them. We used graphs to monitor work progress and, at the end of each sprint, we compared estimates with reality so that we could learn and improve the process.

One of the challenges we had, in terms of product, was the subsequent addition of a screen size to the website, Tablet, which reaffirmed the importance of remaining calm and organized within the process to react to new demands. At the end of the Sprint, we made the necessary adaptations and together we met the challenge. As a member of the team and knowing the importance of Scrum, I always tried to remain calm, faithful to the process, encouraging and collaborating with other team members. In technical terms, I shared my knowledge, indicating the courses I had taken related to the new language and architecture and also kept an eye on the information given by the other members. Today I can better understand the process challenges we had and how important it is that the team is in tune with the methodology and that this is always present in the group’s mentality.

Mar-Dec 2016: Academic Internship in Complex Social Networks

In work with Prof. Dr. Carlos Henrique Costa Ribeiro, we decided to structure a process through fortnightly meetings for updates, discussions of doubts, results and analysis of the process itself. My work topic was Complex Networks and my objective was to analyze the literature and produce something new in the area. To achieve this, after the initial recommendation of papers and books, I was able to specify my focus: growth and navigation in complex networks. After analyzing the literature, I implemented some alternative small-world models and scale-free networks, analyzing properties such as degree of distribution, network diameter, average shortest paths, etc. I investigated the navigation process in different networks with the aim of understanding the importance of “hints” present in the structure that allow finding short paths, without global knowledge of the network.

I also studied different models of network growth (communication, biological, neural, commerce and social networks) and the consequences of each of these models. With this study, I compiled the most important properties of each one to create a generic growth algorithm that can be applied to different areas by adjusting the constants. This project allowed me to develop independent work that involved a lot of research and self-motivation. It was work that I carried out with great satisfaction, as I established an adequate process in terms of organization, work pace and methodology to achieve my objectives.

Mar/2013 - Jun/2014: Question attendant on duty at the Poliedro course

As a person on duty, I was responsible for resolving questions and topics in mathematics, physics, chemistry, Portuguese and English, focusing on the most competitive entrance exams in the country. Sometimes, students wanted to talk about the process of passing the ITA, how to stay focused and energetic in their studies, which made me happy to be able to contribute.

Personal Projects

Mar-Jun 2017: Development of a Social Network

A partner and I, motivated by the country’s political dynamics, started the idea of building a new product, a the social network, to meet a demand for more active participation in democratic decisions. The idea was to create an interface that transformed this desire for participation into products of direct democracy. To do this, we structure the requirements of the product, process, marketing, work team and strategies to raise the necessary capital. After these considerations, we decided that more experience and knowledge was needed for product development. So, I continued my studies as a developer and went to work at LivUp.

2019 - Psychoanalysis applied to Team management - Scrum

I am developing content that makes use of psychoanalysis concepts and techniques for application in high-quality product development teams. A strategic way of dealing with teams in order to build good processes that improve product quality and prevent the evasion of good professionals. Topics such as: Mental health and productivity, Ego, real x imaginary, energy balance, the force of habit, the energy dynamics of the team: how to recycle, get to know the team and know how to manage demands, in order to extract the best from each one and cooperate for a healthy experience with the team, the process, the product and the company. Organization and calm. Use of colors. Consult, check and improve: feet on the ground.

Work Experience

Since 2019: Clinical Psychoanalyst

The work in the psychoanalytic clinic involves listening, marking, and interpreting to produce a real effect on the unconscious and the symptoms of the Subject. There is an input logic, which produces an output logic, with a diversity of themes: the challenges of articulating questions about sexuality, desire, fantasies, subjectivity, and social ties: family, parents, institutions, work, and authorities. From Lacan’s graph of desire: the relationship between demand, which is one of love and recognition, and a lack that never stops missing/pulsing. Where, how, and whom to love, the dialectic of love. Being close, at a distance from the relationship. The discomfort, symptoms, traumas, resistance. The drives. Crisis in enjoyment. Desire, fantasy, and social. Isolation, annulment, position of waste and cause of desire, two aspects of object a. Unsatisfied or impossible desire. The look, the voice, the body. Inhibition, symptom, and anguish. From Freud and Lacan, clinic and theory never cease to write new positions and questions based on graphs, mathematics, Borromean knots, logical, topological, and linguistic questions. Questions that keep us moving. Each clinical case presents itself within a structure and also subverts it, which is the movement of the subject as a creative resource of an original work.

(2019 - 2024): Psychoanalysis applied to Team Management - Scrum

Production of content that makes use of psychoanalysis concepts and techniques for application in high-quality product development teams. A strategic way of managing people in a team in order to move more smoothly, reduce resistance, and reduce the dropout of good professionals. Topics such as: Mental health and productivity, Ego, real vs. imaginary, energy balance, the force of habit, the energy dynamics of the team: how to recycle, get to know the team and know how to manage demands, in order to extract the best from each one and cooperate for a healthy experience with the team, the process, the product, and the company.

(2019 - 2024) Semiotics, Psychoanalysis, Transexuality, Engineering

Identifying specific authors and institutions in Los Angeles (LA) that focus specifically on the intersections of semiotics, transexuality, and psychoanalysis may be challenging due to the specialized nature of this interdisciplinary field. However, here are some institutions in Los Angeles known for their strengths in related fields such as gender studies, cultural studies, and psychoanalysis, where scholars may engage with these topics:

Institutions in Los Angeles

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
- Department of Gender Studies
- Center for the Study of Women
- Department of Comparative Literature
University of Southern California (USC)
- Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies
- Dornsife Center for Feminist Research
California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
- Division of Humanities and Social Sciences
Occidental College
- Department of Critical Theory and Social Justice
- Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies
ArtCenter College of Design
- Humanities and Sciences Department

Authors in the Field

While specific authors focusing exclusively on the intersection of semiotics, transexuality, and psychoanalysis in LA may not be widely recognized, scholars and researchers at these institutions often engage with related themes in their work. They may contribute to broader discussions on gender identity, cultural theory, and psychoanalytic studies. Some scholars from these institutions may include:

Terry Castle: Known for her work in literature, gender studies, and psychoanalysis.
Elizabeth Grosz: Engages with feminist theory, psychoanalysis, and cultural studies.
Tavia Nyong’o: Works on queer theory, cultural studies, and performance studies.
Joshua David Jordan: Focuses on psychoanalysis, gender, and queer theory.
Mignon R. Moore: Studies sexuality, gender, and intersectionality.

These scholars and institutions provide a foundation for exploring the intersections of semiotics, transexuality, and psychoanalysis within the academic and intellectual landscape of Los Angeles. Their work often intersects with broader themes of gender theory, cultural studies, and critical theory.

Exploring the intersection of programming, code theory, and transgender studies involves considering contributions from various disciplines. Here are some authors and scholars whose work may touch on aspects of these intersections:

Jacob Gaboury: Scholar whose work examines digital media, technology, and gender, particularly transgender identities in digital spaces.
Finn Brunton: Researcher focusing on digital culture, privacy, and the political implications of technology, including issues relevant to gender and identity.
Katherine Sender: Scholar exploring gender and sexuality in media and technology contexts, with a focus on LGBTQ+ representation.
Lucas Hilderbrand: Researcher studying LGBTQ+ media and digital culture, including how digital technologies shape and are shaped by queer identities.
Cameron Awkward-Rich: Poet and scholar whose work explores intersections of trans identity, race, and technology.
Nathan Rambukkana: Scholar examining digital culture, social media, and queer identities, including transgender experiences online.
Zizi Papacharissi: Researcher focusing on digital media and communication, examining issues of identity, community, and social networks.
Jack Halberstam: Scholar known for their work on gender, queer theory, and popular culture, with insights into digital identities and subcultures.
Anne Cong-Huyen: Scholar exploring digital humanities, critical race theory, and queer studies, including transgender experiences in digital contexts.
Oliver Haimson: Researcher studying gender and technology, with a focus on LGBTQ+ experiences in online communities and social networks.

These scholars approach the intersection of technology, coding, and transgender studies from various perspectives, contributing to discussions on digital identities, representation, activism, and the social implications of technology for marginalized communities. Their work reflects a growing awareness of the importance of inclusive and ethical practices in digital spaces.

The intersection of programming, code theory, and transexuality isn’t a widely explored area, but there are some conceptual overlaps and potential connections to consider:

Identity and Representation: In programming, especially in the context of digital identity and representation, individuals may use code and technology to express aspects of their gender identity. This can range from choosing usernames, avatars, or profile information that aligns with one’s gender identity, to more complex forms of digital expression or activism.
Digital Spaces and Communities: Online communities and social platforms play a significant role in the lives of many transgender individuals, providing spaces for support, education, and activism. Understanding how digital platforms are coded and designed, and how these design choices impact the experiences of trans individuals, is crucial.
Algorithmic Bias and Discrimination: There’s increasing awareness of how algorithms and machine learning systems can perpetuate bias and discrimination, including in relation to gender identity. Trans individuals may encounter challenges related to misgendering, targeted advertising based on presumed gender identities, or exclusion from certain digital spaces.
Data Representation and Privacy: Issues of data representation and privacy are critical for trans individuals, who may face risks related to outing or discrimination if their gender identity is not accurately represented or protected in digital systems. Understanding how data is coded and stored, and its implications for privacy and security, is important.
Digital Activism and Visibility: Many trans individuals and communities use digital platforms for activism and visibility. This includes coding and developing tools, websites, or apps that address specific needs or challenges faced by the transgender community, such as health resources, legal aid, or social support networks.

While these connections are conceptual, they highlight the importance of considering the intersections of technology, coding practices, and the lived experiences of transgender individuals. Further exploration and research in this area could contribute to more inclusive and supportive digital environments for all individuals, regardless of gender identity.

There are several influential authors and theorists whose work intersects semiotics, transsexuality, and psychoanalysis. Here are a few notable ones:

Semiotics

Ferdinand de Saussure: A foundational figure in semiotics, his work on the nature of signs and the relationship between signifier and signified laid the groundwork for the field.
Charles Sanders Peirce: Another foundational figure, Peirce’s work on signs, symbols, and the process of semiosis is crucial to semiotics.
Roland Barthes: His analysis of cultural texts and the concept of mythologies provides insights into how signs and symbols operate in culture.

Psychoanalysis

Sigmund Freud: The founder of psychoanalysis, his theories on the unconscious, sexuality, and identity are fundamental to the field.
Jacques Lacan: Known for his reinterpretation of Freud, Lacan’s work on the mirror stage, the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real offers deep insights into the formation of identity and subjectivity.
Julia Kristeva: Her work on abjection, the semiotic and symbolic, and the maternal body integrates psychoanalysis with linguistic and cultural analysis.

Transsexuality and Gender Theory

Judith Butler: A key figure in gender theory, her work on performativity, gender identity, and the critique of binary gender has been highly influential in understanding trans identities.
Susan Stryker: A prominent scholar in transgender studies, her work explores the history, culture, and politics of transgender identities.
Kate Bornstein: An author and activist, her work often explores non-binary and transgender experiences through a personal and theoretical lens.

Intersecting Semiotics, Transsexuality, and Psychoanalysis

Gayle Salamon: Her book “Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality” explores how bodies are understood and represented, drawing on psychoanalytic theory, phenomenology, and transgender studies.
Jacques Derrida: While not exclusively focused on transsexuality, Derrida’s deconstruction and his work on différance provide tools for analyzing the instability of identity categories, including gender.
Judith Butler: While primarily known for gender theory, Butler’s use of psychoanalysis and semiotics to explore the performativity of gender makes her work relevant across these fields.
