USER GROUPS
We are better together. Sharing professional experiences and helping each other solve every-day issues proves this.

ABOUT ME
I started in the computing field back in 1975 while shopping at a retail store down in Niteroi RJ, my home town in Brasil. They had a Sinclair Z-80 compatible computer hooked to a black and white TV set. Somehow I manage to go through the curious crowd and got on a seat where I was handled a piece of paper with a BASIC code to type in. In a few minutes my name was on TV.
That did it. I became a computer geek.
Today, with over 30 years in my professional career I am focused on Microsoft Technologies in multiple disciplines both on-premises and cloud based. Data platform, CosmosDB,
micro-services, IoT and infrastructure are among the cloud services I've specialized on.
