I would like to apply to São Paulo Research Foundation's (FAPESP) Young Investigator Awards around 2025 and create the first Research Software Engineer (RSE) group in Brazil. At the end of FAPESP's Young Investigator Awards, around 2030, I wish that my work have inspired the creation of other RSE groups in South America.
