My name is Hugo Sereno Ferreira. I was born in 1980 and live in Porto, Portugal. I view myself as an old-school “hacker” from the early days of MSX, ZX Spectrum and Commodore Amiga.

You can download my Curriculum Vitae here.

I am a Ph.D. (All But Dissertation, 3rd year student) in Computer Science in the MAP-i Doctoral Programme at the Universities of Minho, Aveiro and Porto. I hold a degree in Informatics and Computation Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. I’m an Invited Assistant Lecturer at FEUP/DEI, Scientific Researcher at ParadigmaXis, and at the Associate Laboratory INESC Porto, member of the Hillside Group and Software Engineering Group.

I’ve worked on several industrial and research projects, fulfilling the roles of Software Engineer, Analyst, Architect, Project Manager and Team Leader since 2001.

I’m currently writing my Ph.D. thesis in the area of Model-Driven Engineering, specifically about Adaptive Object-Models, namely Design and Architectural Patterns and Frameworks. It’s under the main supervision of Profs. Ademar Aguiar and Pascoal Faria, Joseph Yoder (AOM guru) as external advisor and Prof. Alexandre Sousa as industrial advisor.
