Personal Profile
As Sun Ambassador, I work tightly with the rest of the Ambassadors (one hundred around the world) among other things in providing to Sun Directors Board our vision about trends in IT.

As Java Senior Engineer at Sun, I work mainly in SQA filed in Banking and Public Administration areas.

Previously, as project manager during ten years, I covered all tasks involved in the development process of an IT system, and worked tightly with all other departments. I developed considerably big projects, achieving successfully the goals, in time and within budget.

Even if my profile is clearly technical, I do not consider myself as a typical technician: I like to go out of the office and interact with customers, detecting their necessities and being able to help them in improving their business processes.

I am confident that I can accomplish these tasks in a clear and professional manner.
