Education
Ongoing Latu Sensu Post-graduation course in IT in Education at PUCRS.
I am an undergraduate student in Computer Science at UFRGS University since march of 2003 – the course is not yet concluded – to develop my knowledge in programming and in computer interaction. I’m attending 6th semester disciplines and I have almost 50% of my course concluded. I temporarily suspended this course so I can complete the course mentioned above.
I attained a Bachelor Degree in Social Communication (Publicity and Advertising) at FAMECOS/PUC University on August 6th, 2000.
Professional Experience
I work with web development since 1996. Since 2005 I teach web development at a big training center in Porto Alegre: TargetTrust. I have my own IT company and I work as an IT Consultant and Web Project Manager.
My company website is http://www.llis.com.br. In my personal website, http://www.lauralopes.net/, I keep updated information about my curriculum vitae, in English.
I have great interest in developing web systems. I am currently developing systems with PHP and Zend Framework. I like to follow patterns and I believe agile methods have a great part in a developers work. I have adapted SCRUM to work in a company which projects are managed and developed by myself and has eventual free-lancers.
Courses I teach at TargetTrust: PHP, Zend Framework, OOP, UML, SQL, JavaScript, XHTML, CSS, Introduction to Programming Languages.
