About

João Osório (Ozzie)

This is my personal web log. I use it to share some knowledge, personal opinions and general IT problem solving.
Currently employed as a senior developer, working with Microsoft and FOSS technologies, at the portuguese public administration institute. As time flies, I've been an IT professional for almost 20 years, working first as a systems analyst (what they used to call a jack of all trades programmer) at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and evolving my career to a senior consultant there. Having a brief CRM platform experience at a portuguese firm called Novabase, I finally landed a job as a developer and later on database support engineer, at the portuguese ministry of justice IT institute. This is where I spent most of my career until recently.

All the firms and institutions I worked for had an awesome variety of support platforms and applications. All this background and the daily problem solving I'm faced with, adding some eagerness to learn, qualify me as a technology handyman. As we say in portuguese: "pau para toda a obra", in english "jack of all trades".

To describe myself in short: IT developer, passionate about my loved ones (they know who they are), keen on understanding new technologies, eager to learn new things and a general technology trends watcher.
