I'm a teacher & visual artist. I research artistic and design practices that make use of computational means, promote creative coding and programming education in visual contexts, and develop open educational materials.

This animation is made with points in a Python
collections.dequedata structure, added by dragging the mouse (see code further bellow).
- 💬 Ask me about drawing with Python!
- Check out py5 one of the projects I'm most active on.
- Also pyp5js, a hack to bring in the vocabulary from py5 to a p5js + pyodide backend!
- I try to make a new drawing with code everyday, and I put the results at skech-a-day.
- 🔭 I have just finished a PhD at Unicamp by the end of 2025. I have very little idea of what I'm going to do now...
- 👯 I’d like to collaborate on open resources to teach programming.
- I collect tools for teaching Python in a visual output here.
