About
Born in Lisbon, Arroios, on Sunday, August 2, 1953, at 6:00 a.m.
At 16, I entered the Faculty of Medicine in Lisbon and stayed there for about six months. At that time, the recent discoveries about DNA and RNA were immensely fascinating.
For various reasons, I left university and started working at a brokerage firm on the Lisbon stock exchange. Wow, what a life! The work was intense, but the money came in fast and easy.
On April 25, 1974, I became unemployed—the communists shut down the Lisbon stock exchange.
In March 1975, I joined CGD, starting at the bottom, level 3 or 4—I can’t remember exactly.
I worked on State accounts for a while. In 1978, I applied to the Organization and IT department. There were 12 of us, and we got in.
That was my discovery of the world of Business Science and IBM mainframes.
I started as a functional analyst, and from 1984 onward, I dedicated myself exclusively to application development for Db2 Mainframe databases.
I always worked in project areas—I always hated maintenance. Sometimes as a project leader, other times as part of a team. The structural aspect of systems was always a passion. And programming too: from machine language, Assembler, COBOL, ISPF, PROLOG — everything!
In the 1990s, the migration of systems from VSAM to Db2 was the dominant theme. The year 2000 was approaching, and date representation in Data Sets was a real problem.
In 1999, after a change in directors and restructuring, I became seriously ill and retired.
In 2010-2020, The internet and PCs allowed me to keep up with information technologies.
I Aug 2022, I’ve taken several courses in prompt engineering and I’m on familiar terms with LLMs. They are indispensable tools for development and knowledge acquisition.
In Jan 2025, I start Cotent Engenering, defining the strategic blueprint for structured content. It specifies the content’s purpose, target audience, core messages, and required modular components. It also outlines the content model, governance workflow, and technical requirements to ensure content is scalable, reusable, and adaptable across all digital channels.
In Out 2025 = A.I. workflow management appliing artificial intelligence to automate, optimize, and govern business processes. It uses AI to analyze data, predict bottlenecks, make routing decisions, and adapt workflows in real-time. This shifts processes from static, rule-based sequences to dynamic, intelligent, and self-improving systems that enhance efficiency and decision-making.
