Summary
Munif Gebara is an experienced software engineer and AI professor based in Paraná, Brazil, blending over two decades of commercial development with long-standing academic teaching and research in robotics and machine learning. He began programming in 1983, holds an MSc in Industrial Informatics/Robotics from UTFPR and is pursuing a PhD in Machine Learning, which informs his current roles as Professor of Artificial Intelligence, UNDP software developer, and scientific researcher at Universidade Estadual de Maringá. Technically fluent in Java and TypeScript, he has led architecture and engineering efforts across startups and enterprises, from building JavaScript frameworks to senior engineering roles at PagSeguro and Matera. Munif’s career mixes hands-on system design with curriculum development—he’s taught algorithms, automation and AI since 2001—making him effective at translating research into production software. A less obvious strength is his longevity: sustained independent consulting and a personal engineering practice (Munif.com.br) that reflect deep practical resilience alongside academic credentials.
