About me

I am a consultant working for Microsoft Consulting Services. I design enterprise software for major customers, mostly in the financial services and public administration markets.

As many youngsters of my generation, I first got exposed to computers in early 1980's through the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and movies like War Games.

I specialized in object-oriented programming, particularly in building enterprise software.Today I'm focusing on SOA, SaaS, S+S and Cloud Computing. I'm deeply interested in exploring new paradigms, specially when they can be abstracted from other fields of science or art.

I've also worked as a consultant on software development process improvement and agile methodologies for several customers throughout the years. I've gained a lot of experience in this field and I speak frequently on the subject in public events. Public presentations is something I enjoy doing, because it allows me to meet new and interesting people and discuss some of my favorite topics.

I live in Lisbon, Portugal, where the summers are still warm and the winters somewhat rainy but not too cold.
