About me

Hello! I’m Larissa and I’m a passionate ruby programmer living in Edmonton, Canada.

I got my Bachelor degree in Computer Science almost by accident. Luckily for me, I fell in love with it – after all, it centers around two of the things I love the most: logic and solving problems. During my education, I started programming with C/C++, Java, PHP and Python. I finally met Ruby in 2011 and we’ve been together ever since.

Back home in Brazil I was a full-stack developer at Colivre helping the development of a open source web platform for social networks called Noosfero.

I have also done research in Computer Network, investigating performance in hybrid Wireless Optical Networks, modeling network systems and writing cool simulations.

I’m an enthusiast of free software since I was introduced to open source philosophy during freshman year of college. I’ve been using Linux and contributing to open source since 2009.
