I am a graduate in systems engineering and have completed the courses in the master's degree in systems engineering with an emphasis on electronic banking, only missing the graduation work. In 2009, I founded my own programming company in my home country called Szystems, dedicated especially to the creation of custom software for companies, in which we work on projects of all kinds such as: Clinics, POS, ERP, CRM, etc. We have worked on websites and web and desktop applications, in addition to providing support to our clients on the products created for them. In October 2025, I had to embark on a new adventure with my wife and daughter. My wife was accepted to Royal Roads University in Victoria, so we moved to Canada and it is time to start a new life starting from scratch. Therefore, at this moment I am available to work in this country, either remotely or physically, and contribute my knowledge and at the same time learn from new responsibilities that the future may bring. I am willing to start wherever the company requires. Thank you very much in advance.
