About me!
Hi everyone. I'm a computer science engineer that loves everything related with technology and science. I started working with computers in 1994, programming in Pascal, Turbo Pascal and Clipper. At the time, I work with some vintage processor, like the Intel 80286 (aka Intel 286) and the Intel 80386 (aka Intel 386). In my work life, I mainly worked as system administrator and network administrator. My core knowledge is in video and audio post-production facilities as IT manager. I have skills in managing fabric SAN infrastructures like Xsan, scale-out storages as Avid Nexis and LTO backup libraries (by Quantum) using the Bacula open source software.As software developer, I have created a GUI to manage and edit metadata of the open source Ingex software created by the BBC R&D Labs. If you want to know more about my recent projects, take a look at the Projects page.
Education
I have a BSc Degree in Informatics and Multimedia Engineering from the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL). I am currently doing a Master's degree in the same area of specialization.Certifications
