Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Sobral is a researcher and security-minded software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in cryptography, web security, and algorithms. Currently at Huawei after security engineering work at Globo and hands-on software roles at ProntLife, he blends research rigor with practical implementation in production settings. He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from TU Berlin and a BSc focused on information security and algorithms from UFRJ, reflecting strong academic grounding. João is an active contributor to algorithm implementations across languages (Java, Lua, C) on notable community collections like al-go-rithms, showing a penchant for clear, language-agnostic problem solving rather than just product code. Based in Germany, he combines curiosity about cryptographic primitives with real-world security engineering experience to bridge theory and deployment.
