Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil
I'm a computer engineering student, I'm an alumni at the Apple Developer Academy POA, in Brazil and now I study and work on a research project in the university of Stuttgart. I love to program in my free time using Swift, working on games and personal projects. I also love to play piano and paint oil paintings and I bring all these skills to my projects.
Scholarships
Thiago has been awarded a WWDC scholarship two times. Here are the submissions that got him there.
In 2024, applicants were tasked with creating an interactive app playground on the topic of their choice to showcase their passion for coding. New for 2024, 50 Distinguished Winners were recognized for their outstanding submissions and invited to Apple in Cupertino. Here’s how Thiago describes his winning submission.
Parallelo is an app where the user is taken to Apple Park, where Steve Jobs in a pixel art version delivers a keynote on High Performance Computing, showcasing the importance of parallelism in computing. Then, he takes us to the Macintosh factories, where we use parallelization to increase factory productivity. With more workers working in parallel, we can build more Macintoshes in less time, but we must be cautious of resource dependency, as workers may compete for resources.
