"SmartAge: affect in interaction design and technology for the elderly". This Human-Computer Interaction research project aimed at investigating the role of affect in interactions with digital technology considering specificities of the elderly population in Brazil. Key words: HCI, usability, affectibility, user experience, accessibility, elderly, senior citizens, digital divides. Main results: Proposal and implementation of a 4-months course entitled "Letramento em tecnologias móveis" for people with 55 years old or more as part of the program "UniversIDADE" at UNICAMP; proposal and implementation of a 4-hours course entitled "Compreendendo respostas afetivas" as part of the XVI Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems; submission and publication of scientific articles.

Scientific Researcher

• Apr 2014 - Aug 2016

Focusing on improved accessibility and usability, I planned and coordinated participatory practices with end users for the design and evaluation of user interfaces. I also created wireframes and prototypes for web pages, smartphone applications (Android and iOS) and other digital solutions. My responsibilities included: the management of the UX Lab and its devices; development of technical reports and executive presentations; contribution on scientific conferences; and prospection of projects and clients.

System Analyst

• Dec 2003 - Jul 2006

As system analyst I maintained IBM applications (mainframe systems, using IBM DB2 database) that supported IBM internal business (e.g., Billing, Invoicing and Accounting; Customer Management; Order Management) for Latin America. I had the opportunity to participate in varied projects which included a 6-weeks stay in IBM Buenos Aires. My responsibilities also involved system documentation (both for audit purposes and for user reference), user training and disaster recovery tests.
