ABOUT ME

Hello there!

And welcome to my personal page!

I'm an IT Professional that lives in southern Portugal.

Here you will find information about my skills and some work I have been doing...
Recently created, this portal is meant to share experiences and knowledge! So feel free to share your thoughts and give some feedback.
I've always took more interest in the mechanics than the actual product.
- How does it all work? - What's the secret behind it? - What's inside?
Follow me and lets find out!

 

My Skill Levels

  • Programming & Development80%
  • Design & Production40%
  • Networking60%
  • System Administrator65%
Mainly focused in developing solutions for the web using PHP, Javascript that produce robust and simple applications. Depending on the project requirements, frameworks such as CakePHP or Epesi are often my starting ground.
Also worked with Visual Basic in a couple of projects, really liked the power and simplicity of it but sometimes a pre-compiled languages such as JAVA or C are required for more ambitious projects or specific solutions. I have projects made in C and JAVA. You can find projects written in these languages on my portfolio.
Sometimes application development just forces you to know design basics, because an application without a nice GUI its not human friendly, hence the need for graphics and skills to manipulate them. My favourite weapon to accomplish this is Fireworks, very easy and clean software to work with, but when not available, the free solution GIMP is my alternative. When it comes to vector projects, CorelDraw is my choice.
You can find some artwork done with these software's on my portfolio.
For every IT professional that have a career this was most likely his starting point, even if it was only in the computer that used to sit at home, every single one of us has tried at some stage to do more... Now with a bit more responsibilities, networks with several computers, are now the playground, with this comes centralized management and naturally server languages and protocols. My Microsoft MCITP certification helps me every day when problems or necessities arrive. On other hand, the Linux side of things was by me initially not welcomed, but since I started playing with software provided by the university it became clear, this is must know technology, that offers easy and free solutions. Nowadays I work with both environments Windows and Linux depending on the scenario and solution required.
I'm fortunate enough to being part of Cisco world with my CCNA certification, I believe that for an IT engineer to be successful, basic knowledge of networking is a requisite. Only then, he or she can be aware of how the web works and how the information flows. For a professional that administers networks this is a requirement. From single lab tests, to complete network re-installations, you can find projects on my portfolio.

Project Description

Very ambiente project this one, the challenge consisted in turning an excel sheet that was used to control sales rep's into something more, much more!

Once again a web based solution was the answer, mainly because it offered the possibility of individual reps to have their own login with that make daily uploads of client and business information wherever, whenever they wanted.

The information workflow is composed by 3 distinct phases:

  • Prospecing Business
  • Completed Business
  • Lost Business

It was requested that the system handled a clients database that should be unique within the group, meaning that if a client was atributed to a peticular rep it should not allow other rep to have it. With this, client and business information should be stored clearly and easily migrated to a diferent rep if necessary.

No framework was used here, i have developed all the mechanisms required for the system to work, basically i builted my own framework this was due to keep it simple and easily troubleshoot problems and issues that could occur.

Also, at the time, it offered a clear sight on how to implement functionalities as we went allong...

Earlier versions of this system now have agendas and file droppers...

The system should also at the end of each month produce a elaborate report per rep, this was done using scheduled tasks that run a php CLI script that fetches and composes a PDF with information and charts that display several business metrics, this is then emailed to administrators.
