Bio

More than 20 years developing software or day dreaming about it.


I like web, messaging, storage, fighting for high-performance, optimizing, automating, glueing disparate things together.

I also like stepping out of the beaten path whenever it doesn't seem to be the "best path"... whatever "best" means at the time...


With so much time around computers, I ended up also having the chance to to most of the common things you can do around computers, like:
* assembling them + build and admin computer networks;
* hack with many operating systems and computer languages / platforms;
* and even the related paperwork, the client facing bits, the occasional customer proposal and negotiations.

But I always crave going back to dreaming and building software.

I also like Java, SQL, Javascript, C, JSON, Ajax and SOLR, Firebird, JDBM, GWT, NETTY.

I even enjoyed doing a bit of x86 assembler and messing with CPU ports, back in the day when we had to, event to render _text_ fast or to sends messages at 9600 bits per second. (Am I turning into a Dino or what?)

I like Macs, because being a sysadmin is not that funny to me and because it is the easiest way to have Unix.


It seems I like Ruby, not because the Rails hype, not only because of the language itself, but because I end up enjoying a lot of other Ruby made stuff, like SASS, HAML, Compass (the ones I use now) and many other projects and ideas from the Ruby community.


Yes, this is a lame "likes bio". I just miss the "rainbows and unicorns" theme to go with it.
