It is a great honor to work together with the most valuable professionals. I grew up in VR, not Virtual Reality ;) but Volta Redonda, a small city close to Rio de Janeiro and at the age of 9 I woke up my tech spirit while learning how to program with BASIC language in an Apple II computer. After following for great and fruitful paths with Clipper, C, C++, Delphi, Visual Basic, PERL and Java, I started to go through areas more connected to Cloud Infra, Agile and DevOps. Since 2016 I started my startup dream in my spare time and an adventure as book writer, writing about career reinvention, innovation and entrepreneurship dnd getting the grateful surpri15se of becoming Best-Selling author with DisrupTalks. Sharing attitude with impact and influence, trying to make a difference around me.
