After my masters degree in Systems Engineering, I have worked for many years as a software developer and IT manager, having a rich and polyvalent career. While working for private companies, I also lectured database systems at the university level and worked at IBGE – Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, an important governmental research institution in Brazil.In 2008 I decided to venture as an entrepreneur myself and founded a chain of stores attending a big part of the Rio de Janeiro. After 9 years as an entrepreneur and CEO, I have decided to make the way back to IT, bringing all the experience I acquired while leading and adapting to the everchanging market. Having more than 20 years of experience developing systems of several complexities and natures, in different platforms and program languages and a deep knowledge of various relational database systems and advanced SQL, along with a good experience in research environments, I have moved away from my company and recently I got the resident visa and established myself in Lisbon, feeling very motivated towards finding a way forward here.
