CTO
I was born in Salvador Bahia, in the NorthEast of Brazil. I have a background that combines associates, bachelor and master degrees, in a unique blend of Computer Science, Project Management, Marketing, Communication skills and Consulting. In my working career I’ve seen myself spanning among start-up business, multinational enterprises, international organizations and the Brazilian government. Thus, I have practical experience based in a mixture of entrepreneurialism as well as academic rigor.Furthermore, I have good international experience, speaking four languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish and a bit of French. I have worked for companies in the United States , Canada, Germany, Switzerland and more recently Colombia and Brazil.In almost 16 years of experience, I’ve lived and worked abroad, in the country side and the coast as well. I’ve worked remotely since 2005, so much before this pandemic time. So, I’m well aware that discipline, resilience, pro-activeness and communication take a big role in the scenario. I’ve also worked presently, so that I know what a difference it makes when it comes to learn company’s culture, dynamics and day-to-day routine.Shaking hands and looking in the eyes will never become obsolete. As well as hugging a friend and hanging out with them never will be replaced by virtual meetings. I’m a great example of how engaged students of Computer Science can become good professionals in the field of Information Technology, Software Engineering, Business development and Management. I have written a quote that says: "Some professionals are not excited about computers themselves—they are excited about what can be done with computers, and how computation can offer new solutions that help real people in challenging situations". My specialties are: Software Engineering Development and Analysis, Business & System Architecture, IT Infrastructure, and IT Project Management.
