Bio

I'm a passionate Java Developer involved within the Open Source Community to help other individuals spread knowledge about Java technologies. Working as a Freelancer gave me the freedom to travel around the world and speak at conferences like JavaOne, Oracle Code One, Devoxx, JFokus, GeeCon, Devnexus, and others, being recognized by the community with a Java Champion title and Rock Star award. I'm also the leader of the Coimbra JUG, a Java User Group in Portugal with more than 900 members, and the founder of the JNation Conference in Portugal a one-day event with worldwide speakers and 1000+ attendees. When I'm not working I spend most of my time hanging out with friends, playing computer games, and traveling with my family.
