Bio

I have been very active in the European Aerospace Industry for the last decade. I started in Avionics projects in a company initially called RTSN that changed it's name to Skysoft. After a brief stint to finish my Master's course in real-time systems, I found a project that I liked so much that I decided to move to Germany to pursue it. The experience was very rewarding, and I made several new friends, but unfortunately it was very brief.

In my new company, Critical Software, I started to dedicate myself more to space projects and eventually became a fixed-term contractor for the European Space Agency, in Darmstadt (Germany Again). The experience gained there enabled me to start a new Job in Spain, in GMV, designing and implementing the satellite control system for some of the world's major players in the telecom satellite industry.

After deciding to move to Portugal, I started creating web-sites as a freelancer using my favourite open-source tool: Drupal. This has enabled me to start working with one of the top Drupal companies worldwide: Trellon.
