Research Contractor
Vodafone R&D
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Telecommunications industry)
April 2005 — March 2006 (1 year )
I did some incredibly fun and exciting work at Vodafone R&D in Maastricht, The Netherlands, and worked with truly marvelous people! Still, I won't be able to tell much about it. Secrecy is, indeed, key at R&D.

April 2001 — April 2005 (4 years 1 month)
Converted the company's technological skills from a Informix 4GL-based culture to a Java/J2EE culture, and led the development of the company's flagship product, a real-time prepaid billing solution for telecoms. Implemented company processes for software engineering practices.
S-Tecno was recognized as a Sun Authorized Java Center in 2002, the 4th SAJC in Portugal (and, ultimately, the final last one as well) in the country. -
Software Engineering Teacher
Universidade Independente

September 2002 — January 2005 (2 years 5 months)
Teached Software Engineering (a 4th year course) and co-teached - with Bernardino Mota - Data Structures and Algorithms (a 2nd year course) at UnI. Teaching is something I just love to do.
-
Java Architect and Trainer
WhatEverSoft
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)
March 1999 — April 2001 (2 years 2 months)
Did a bit of it all: coded, designed, architected, teached, managed and supported some key projects in the beginning of the portuguese Java era, in the first Sun Authorized Java Center in Portugal. Hell of a nice job, in a hell of a nice company.
-
Systems Engineer
A Beltronica
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Telecommunications industry)
October 1997 — March 2001 (3 years 6 months)

-
Freelance Developer / Vendor
Self-employed
(Self-Employed; Myself Only; Information Technology and Services industry)
June 1995 — December 1999 (4 years 7 months)
I did multiple development projects as a freelancer from the moment I could legally sell them.
Of special notice is an ERP system me and friend, back then both 18 years old, did for a Gas delivery company (A Barrigás), which involved a very early contact with distributed, mobile applications - that we implemented by integrating a Psion Organizer II PDA. We were doing distributed Invoicing and Billing, Fleet Management, Account Management, and it was actually the first ERP-like system I'd seen. ;) It was way cool, though.
