I was born in Venezuela 30 years ago, lived in Brazil for 15 years; and after some time in Netanya, now I live in Maale Adumim, Israel.
Since child I developed an increasing interest in technology and programming languages. As a kid I would spend many hours unmasking the mysteries of our BASIC programmable MSX 1. 16 colors are enough for a color-blind ;) .
The IBM PC opened a new approach to technology and software, and the arrival of the internet transformed the PC into a powerful tool, and technologist (term used loosely) all over the world into teachers and friends.
After finishing school, I came to Israel for my Software and Systems Engineering Degree, attained at the Jerusalem College for Technology. The degree was completed in 2001.
With my certificate in hands, I returned to Brazil, married and stayed a couple years.
During this opportunity, I completed an MBA in Business Administration in the Trevisan University - this gave me a different vision about business life and companies needs.
Once back in Israel, as an autonomous web developer, my mission became to help companies and individuals to make most from their internet investments, and aid companies at their strive for computer driven business management.
One of the advantages I offer is fluency in English, Hebrew, Spanish and Portuguese, which allowed me to enter many multilingual projects.
To complete these hard tasks, I counted on knowledge and experience in programming within complex web-systems made on PHP, Perl, SQL (and a little CSS and Flash) on my day-to-day work. The work was completed and sealed by an organized support system for clients.
Programming for the web was incredible fun. However, this endeavour ended too, and for the last ~4 years I am employing my time and efforts as a Testing Engineer at Intel Corp. I've never met so many interesting fellows, or learnt so many interesting things (I can not enter in details for non-disclosure reasons). I write about testing here, and about Intel technologies here.
Most important, I would like to present you my family (great supporting staff!), they make me very proud: My wonder-wife Paula (Pnina), the excited Rachel, the dynamic-duo Yaakov & Yehuda, the soft Naomi and the funny Israel. I'm merely supporting actor.
I hope you are interested in knowing me a little more. Feel free to contact me if you have any interest or further questions.
