Hi! My name is Pedro and I'm this guy you can see eating moose on the right. I'm a Brazilian Computer Engineer living in Kirchheim bei München and working for GeNUA mbH. I'm a PUC-Rio Department of Informatics graduate and former OpenBSD developer. My e-mail address is pedro@ambientworks.net.

You might also be interested in some of my code. On the other hand, no homepage is complete without an animated dancing pig, so here's one:
According to the Federative Republic of Brazil, where I was born, my name is Pedro Martelletto de Alvarenga Bastos. The surname Martelletto comes from my mother and the surname de Alvarenga Bastos from my father. According to the Italian Republic, of which I became a citizen in 2007, my name is Pedro de Alvarenga Bastos. The reason for this is that, says the Ordinamento Italiano, every new Italian citizen may receive only the surname of the father (see La madre, il cognome materno, il cambio di cognome for further information on this matter). The problem is that I usually go by my mother's surname, since it's shorter. However, legally speaking, Martelletto is not part of my name in the European Union.
I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the Amparo Feminino de 1912 hospital. Curiously, this hospital was founded by a German Lutheran priest to assist German immigrants in Brazil. My family background is complex, but can be traced back to the towns of Sarego in the north of Italy, Quarteira in the south of Portugal and to the indigenous peoples in Brazil. I currently hold both Brazilian and Italian passports.
My OpenBSD account was blocked in early 2009 due to disagreements with the project's leadership. I don't hold any grudges, though. The project is nice, has extremely talented people among its team and you should definitely give it a closer look in case you haven't. I'll just no longer spend my spare time hacking on it. However, I still contribute to it from time to time. In fact, I guess I still have more "indirect" commits per OpenBSD release than half of the people credited in the release announcements.
Some of these patches are for illustrative purposes only, while some others have been submitted for integration and/or integrated to the main OpenBSD repository. Use at your own risk. :-)
