Technical Director

Orolix

(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Internet industry)

August 2007 — February 2008 (7 months)

Orolix is a free, dialed-in internet service provider, which furthermore pays the users to surf the net. I was hired to help the company to improve the software development area, and revamp the software development, quality assurance and infrastructure departments. This work had been finalized with a complete reengineering of the company, now subdivided in smaller, autonomous units. I have managed a team of 30+ people, being also responsible for defining processes, (re)-defining project management concepts, and so on. Customers: around 40,000 active customers.
Sr. Development Manager

Convergys

(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; CVG; Information Technology and Services industry)

March 2004 — July 2007 (3 years 5 months)

Convergys is a worldwide, 70,000 people organization offering real-time billing solutions, also playing in the customer care and employee care businesses. In Brazil, some of the clients are Vivo, Brasil Telecom, and so on. I was responsible for the development of Atlys, used by Vivo, produced by development teams in the United States, Brazil and India. I have helped to setup and manage the Brazilian Team, which peaked at almost 50 developers, as well as part of the American team. I have also participated in the definition of processes, tools and methodologies, being awarded for both performance and innovation. Customers: Vivo.
IT Manager

SENAC

(Information Technology and Services industry)

2002 — 2003 (1 year )

My relationship with SENAC began as a software developer, through WhiteHat. Afterwards, I became the manager in charge of the IT infra-structure for the whole São Paulo state. In this position, I coordinated the team and the efforts to provide network conectivity and services for the several departments and units throughout the capital and countryside. I concentrated in creating and documenting processes, organizing and optimizing the overall technological view, being also responsible for redefining the hardware and software structure for the organization.
Technical & Financial Director

Brazil Connection

(Internet industry)

March 1993 — July 2002 (9 years 5 months)

Founded in 1993 by me and another partner, Brazil Connection was meant to be a commercial bridge between Brazil and the United States - hence the name. The Miami office (Brazil Connection Inc) started representing the largest Brazilian newspaper, Folha de S.Paulo, soon followed by Byte Magazine and other publications. Due to our strong technological background, we specialized in the computer market.

Starting in 1996 we have completely restructured, building an Internet Service Provider from the ground up, including all the infrastructure for communication, products definition and software development. During this time, I handled most of the managerial, research and development functions. Customers: Yellow Pages, O Estado de S.Paulo, Acer, and more than 300 small and medium-sized businesses.
Technical Director

Data Safe

(Computer Software industry)

1988 — 1993 (5 years )

Data Safe created Punch!, the first Windows-compatible big software in Brazil, a CAD/CAM system for industrial machines. This was a very complex project, including a complete AutoCAD-like interface, built-in C compiler, serial communications module, post-processor techniques and several other features. Customers: Punch! was (and still is, to some extent, even though officially discontinued) used by almost every large Brazilian company that had a punching machine: Siemens, Caterpillar, Otis, and many others.
