About
I have spent the last two decades between the data centre and the boardroom: solving critical incidents, leading teams and helping companies and public bodies make sound technology decisions.
I built my career in Rio de Janeiro, in IT and project management: ITIL implementation, network operations centres (NOC), data centre and cloud migrations, mission-critical virtualisation and writing technical specifications for large public tenders.
Today I live in Póvoa de Lanhoso, Portugal, where I founded NewWall, focused on observability and information security powered by artificial intelligence. I also continue as a senior consultant on IT and security projects in Brazil.
