NAME

SYNOPSIS
Born in the spring of 1979 in Lisbon, Portugal (planet earth)
DESCRIPTION
If I had to describe myself, I wouldn’t.
I began my professional career in 2003 as a programmer for a consulting company. I’ve worked in a number of projects using various technologies and covered areas such as Human Resources, Telecommunications, Health Care and Business Intelligence.
Currently I’m working at Sapo where I’m the lead developer of Sapo Mobile.
I’m also the founder of Forumúsica, a Portuguese community mainly targeted at musicians (hobbyists, amateurs and professionals).
It was created in June 2002 and has grown quite a lot since then. In the end of 2006 I was approached by Webrain (the company behind PTGamers) and together we began working on a project around Formúsica, which is now SomXL. It was launched in mid-2007. And no, I did not sell it.
I breathe music. Need it as much as I need fresh water and air. Not only that, I have an obsession with discovering new and obscure artists and bands – I end up with copious amounts of albums and data but it’s all worth it. It’s a lot like mining diamonds.
Speaking of music, I play electric guitar and have been doing so for the past 12 years, on and off. Used to be really into the more technical aspects of playing, but it was spoiling the fun. Decided to stop for a while – I now seem to have a much more healthy relationship with my guitar-playing.
I love gadgets, geeky stuff, enjoy a good read, I try to eat healthy food, I *do* exercise, rarely watch TV.
I really hate wasting time with useless things
