ICT Project Manager and SysAdmin @ Sonae
from 19888 to 2001
- 1998-2001: Project leader and senior consultant for ICT projects: As a project leader and senior consultant, I specialized in Unix systems and networks. My responsibilities included pre-sales and technical consulting, as well as managing multiple projects primarily in the ICT and retail sectors. My role required a deep understanding of complex systems and the ability to lead teams to deliver successful project outcomes.
- 1995-1998: Senior Systems and Networks Administrator: In this role, I oversaw the administration and management of various Unix systems, including AIX, HP-UX, and Linux. I played a key role in several projects aimed at implementing high-availability solutions for critical business services using UNIX clustering technologies. My expertise ensured the reliability and efficiency of these essential systems.
- 1988-1995: system and networks manager: During this period, I managed multiple ICT infrastructures based on Unix systems (AIX, HP-UX), IBM proprietary architectures (AS/400, S/36, and S/38), and VAX-VMS. My responsibilities included overseeing the performance and security of these systems, ensuring they met the needs of the organization and supported its strategic goals.
