Short bio:
I've been programming since the days of Spectrum ZX 48k. My enthusiasm started with games, and later on Ive focused on business software and database centric software. In 1998 I've co-founded AciNet, a company dedicated to build solutions to Human Resources and Education. I've been a Manager since then, and my responsibilities goes from Programming to Managing a team of developers and decision making on the direction of the company in relation to technology. Since the days of Windows Mobile, I've been an enthusiast of mobile devices programming. So far didn't had many opportunities to explore that professionally, but that does not prevent me from continue to be enthusiastic about it and to create personal projects as a hobby on several areas, that goes from simple services consumption, database related and more recently 3D. With Windows Phone, and Nokia, I'm excited about the opportunity to create and publish apps for the world to see.
