  Before coming to CERN I mainly worked in control electronics, discrete control and software applications for commercial business, and more than three years as a Medical Physicists.
  At CERN, my first tasks were design of electronics boards, programmable logic, embedded controllers and firmware. I continuously progressed into the upper layers of accelerators control incorporating new knowledge and competences.
  In the technical domain I transit easily from the bottom, low level hardware, up to the top, the system architecture of the control chain, covering technologies and paradigms from '70s to nowadays, flowing from electronics to software, from radiation to reliability and also safety problems.
  I was the supervisor of students, technicians, engineers and teams.
  Nowadays I apply my managerial competences leading projects in the area of High Energy Physics Accelerators Protection Systems
  The continuous improvement of these protection systems implies a big charge of meetings and discussions. Requiring a constant interaction with a lot of people along the CERN and outside, counting physicists, operators, engineers, technicians, managers. It is here where my communication competences play their role.
