Daniel Almeida

I am a Software Engineer and researcher in training (aka Graduate Student) in Computer Science under the guidance of Professor Gail Murphy at the University of British Columbia (UBC). My interests include software design and evolution, empirical software engineering, and human aspects of software engineering.

I spend my days making and drinking the elixir of life (that would be coffee, of course), reading and writing papers, and coding. My job is to identify, understand, and solve problems that come between software developers and great work being done. I collect evidence about those problems and invent solutions to help us deal with them.

If you want to know more about me, take a look at my resume or Linkedin profile. You can contact me at danielalmeida@alumni.ubc.ca. I sometimes [re]tweet software-related stuff at @_DanielAlmeida.
