I'm a computer science enthusiast that began programming when I was very young thanks to my parents that let me use their 8086 4,77Mhz IBM-PC computer with only MS-DOS and GW-BASIC. My dad told me that if I wished to play games, there was only one possible thing to do: build them for me, and so did I. Since then, I got special expertise within CS world in C, C++ (specially client/server and multi-threaded applications), x86 ASM, PHP, SQL and shell scripting.In 1998 I founded my first company and became in the following years self-taught in several areas such us accounting, financial analysis, budgeting, fiscal policies and related financial issues, as well as other IT areas such as networking, where I was pleased to learn real-world STP/PVST, LACP, Cisco VTP/Netflow, VRRP, OSPF, BGP4, Policy routing, Load balancing, DDoS management, MPLS, IOS and JunOS, among others. In the latest years I also got expertise in technologies around the new Cloud term, including the entire VMware product catalog, ESXi, KVM and Xen hypervisors, Libvirt, Openstack, PXE, clustering and High Availability platforms, shared storage platforms and many storage technologies.Starting in 2003, I’ve been more involved in the business management area, though I kept updating my knowledge in the tech area. This is probably which best defines my profile (mixed tech/business) which is in turn one of my strengths.I've started and participated some unsuccessful companies that have led me to lose a lot of money. Despite of that, I've learnt a lot about what you do NOT have to do, and I think that is a great value. My most successful company was Veloxia in the Internet Hosting market where I have 12 years of experience and I'm currently working on.
