 * '''Background: something about yourself: technical skills, experience, etc. Who are you?''': When I started to study engineering I had no knowledge about computer and programming. I've done a lot of courses to learn more about the area. Now I know C, Python and Java. I'm very curious and I love challeges. During the university I made a braille printer with mindstorm lego, did and presented a paper at a Education Congress in Canada (CICE), contributed with a J2ME project to embedded cell phone, did an exchange in Chile and there I did a research there about embedded system and cloud computing. In 2013 I worked in a eletronic transaction company and there I met open source code. My boss was the portuguese translator of Mercurial. All the softwares of the company are open source and I had the chance to contribute for that and learn more about it.  * '''Background: something about yourself: technical skills, experience, etc. Who are you?''': When I started to study engineering I had no knowledge about computer and programming.
