Hi there!
My name is Denzil Ferreira and I'm passionate about technology. I am a Computer Scientist, a Software Engineer and an Human-Computer Interaction Researcher. I started by fixing problems while graduating, but soon realized that those problems could have been avoided. Software Engineering taught me Design Patterns, Software Architectures, Data Structures and Algorithms. Everything indicated that software problems were now gone. Well, not quite.
The problem comes when that software has to be used by a real person. They are unpredictable. Hence, learning about the user and how to study their interaction with software and computers was the way to go.
My research is focused on context-aware mobile computing, where I try to bring the real “smart” to mobile devices. I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction on this field.
On the right you’ll find how to reach me, and thanks for stopping by!
Denzil
