  Subject: Letter of Recommendation for João Paulo Pizani Flor 
}

\opening{}

Mr. João Paulo Pizani Flor has just concluded his undergraduate studies
at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in the Computer
Science Program. I have supervised his Bachelor's thesis and he has
attended several courses under my responsibility, including: Advanced
Operating Systems, Embedded Systems Lab, and HW/SW Integration. During
this time, I was able to observe his skills on programming and
developing system software and hardware, subjects related to the current
application. Mr.~Flor was a very good student, motivated and able to
master complex tasks in the realm of system software, including embedded
and distributed computing. He also demonstrated research and
intellectual abilities above his class average, particularly regarding
the ability to express himself in written foreign languages (as far as I
could follow, he is fluent in English and has good knowledge of German
and French. During the time he spent under my supervision, the unique
negative remark concerns maturity to take long-term decisions, something
perhaps inherent to his age. The decision to endure a Master's program
abroad might be a turning point in this respect. 

Based on Mr.~Flor skills, I recommend him for the program with the
remark that had he applied for the Master program at UFSC, I would have
promptly accepted him.

Sincerely,

\closing{~}
