I worked with Jefferson in a consultancy in Canada. I was impressed with his Kubernetes, Ingress, Terraform, and AWS skills. He seems to be young, but no mistake here. He is a competent professional, knows how to play in a team, delivers very well in every sprint, and has an exceptional logic mindset. Recommend for any company in need of an experienced Cloud Engineer.

Dyego is a professional who makes us feel very much at ease working with him: responsible, direct, pragmatic, careful with relationships with clients and partners, careful with projects, deadlines and responsibilities, concerned with the human side of IT. He understands that IT is made of people and that, to achieve performance and success, we all need to be doing well. He's a guy I enjoyed working with and I hope I can work with him again :)

When I met Thiago at a SCRUM course in Brasília, I was surprised by his ability to relate to people, his respect, enthusiasm, attentiveness and attitude throughout the training. He stood out among more than 40 students and surprised me in every group exercise we took part in. I sat there admiring this guy and thinking that one day I wanted to have a professional of this caliber on my team.

When I met Thiago at a SCRUM course in Brasília, I was surprised by his ability to relate to people, his respect, enthusiasm, attentiveness and attitude throughout the training. He stood out among more than 40 students and surprised me in every group exercise we took part in. I sat there admiring this guy and thinking that one day I wanted to have a professional of this caliber on my team. After learning a bit about his professional life, over a coffee I got up the courage – with low expectations – to invite him to work on my team – at a small company at the time – and, boy, was I lucky: he accepted and joined the team. For almost 2 years we worked together, serving several clients and contracts, teaching agile to our peers, overhauling processes and creating new, more efficient and faster ones. I had complete confidence in handing team leadership over to him when I was away, and peace of mind knowing that the workflow was running normally and being continuously improved. Possessing a unique patience, even in stressful situations, an unblemished attitude and integrity, and unmatched dedication, Thiago was always honest and a true partner in every initiative we took part in. His knowledge of Agile, business requirements and project management added a lot of value to our team and company during the time we worked together. I recommend this professional wholeheartedly; I have full confidence in his work and I know he will give his all to the mission at hand. I hope we can work together again in the future. Onward!

I identify a lot with Igor's career, and I say this because we both left places far from the country's major centers to work on big projects at big companies. Igor started as a junior web developer and soon showed an incredible ability to learn.

She works collaboratively, cares about her team, shares knowledge, brings innovative ideas, proposes process changes, and documents and gives presentations masterfully. I recommend her wholeheartedly and hope we can work together in the future.

Sandy is an excellent professional, very dedicated, works very well in a team, knows how to handle pressure, knows how to drive requests and projects, and has solid experience with Windows server environments and all their components and subsystems such as Hyper-V, IIS and AD. He is always very up to date on the technologies he uses and, besides being a specialist in Microsoft systems, he also works confidently and comfortably with Linux environments, network appliances, storage and middleware systems. I recommend this professional.

Daniel is a rare human being: committed, serious, responsible, with unblemished conduct before the Detran/DF board. He has a good relationship with everyone who works on his team and is always very interested, above all, in the success of projects, meeting goals and improving the quality of the service provided to the citizens of the Federal District. He is not afraid to innovate, gives the team freedom to choose the best solution for Detran's needs, and sponsors change always with the improvement of public service in mind. In the most critical moments – migrations – he was always there, late into the night, with the technical teams, providing support and assistance so that we never lacked the resources to do our work. Besides being a manager, he is also an experienced developer. He knows IT well in theory and in practice, gives effective input and questions – when necessary – the decisions and resolutions of his subordinates, all so that every path and possibility is explored. He works horizontally, lets every employee of the department or contractor have access to him, and treats contractors fairly, without distinction from other IT professionals, while always being aware of each person's role. Daniel is a true motivator, always smiling and getting along well with everyone. His management is transparent, as is his personality, and he is assertive and fair in his decisions. We have worked together on two occasions and I hope to work with him more in the future. I recommend this IT professional and manager.

Fuzaro is an experienced professional with deep knowledge of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) technologies. He has led several adoption processes for this kind of technology in corporate environments and was part of several success stories. As a manager, he worked at large companies, managing and building teams of fantastic professionals with whom I had the opportunity to work. I recommend this professional.

Fernando came in to manage the Oracle environment of a Mais2x client. He arrived at an excellent moment: the client was suffering from poor performance in its databases. Together we managed to solve all the performance problems on the Linux operating system side (tuning), and he reviewed and adjusted all the internal parameters of the existing databases. It was a period of intense study, research and testing in a controlled environment, and as a result we improved database performance by more than 55%. The client was very satisfied.

Working with Fernando is easy. He has an excellent sense of humor, is disciplined in his Oracle studies, and serious in his statements, analyses and recommendations. Having a Fernando on the team gives everyone peace of mind and is a guarantee of an environment with its gears – Oracle – in perfect order. I recommend this professional.

(translated from Portuguese)

Vinicius is a very serious, responsible and competent professional. He came in to work with application monitoring tools, but his knowledge and experience allowed him to help us on several fronts of the datacenter migration carried out at the client where we were working. Even while helping us with the migration, all monitoring-related activities stayed up to date. As a result, today the client's main system is fully monitored by the tools under his management, which gives peace of mind to the client and the whole team. I recommend this professional.

Ivo is a great analyst with multidisciplinary knowledge, a specialist in computer networks. Beyond that, he works very well with Unix, Linux, Windows, routers, L3 switches, storage, Microsoft tools, various appliances and firewalls (especially PF). He has deep theoretical knowledge combined with years of hands-on experience on many projects all over Brazil and abroad. Every team needs a senior like Ivo. I recommend this professional.

(translated from Portuguese)

We worked together on a project at Detran/DF, where he was the technical supervisor for the entire Mais2x team and closely followed, above all, the work of the senior analysts. Emanuel always supported us and got the resources we needed to do our work. He also worked as an analyst when necessary, acting as a wildcard on the team: if we needed an extra pair of hands, he was there, whether for networking, storage, firewall, virtualization, Linux, etc. With his multidisciplinary knowledge he supported us on many fronts with confidence and composure.

On top of that, he was always highly motivated, which ended up rubbing off on the whole team. He is extremely tactful with clients, used to environments that demand a lot from the supervisor, used to difficult clients and high-pressure environments, and he never loses his lightness and calm, leading the team to complete projects within the agreed deadline. I recommend this professional.

Alexandre is an experienced and dedicated professional with solid knowledge of Linux server administration and network administration. He also has a lot of experience with monitoring, especially with Zabbix, the tool he masters most. I recommend this professional.

(translated from Portuguese)

Elcimar is an exemplary colleague: dedicated, hardworking and not afraid of challenges. We worked on a project at CAIXA, where I was able to follow his professional growth as a Linux systems and services administrator. Disciplined, he learns new technologies as the client's needs require; he learned to administer Expresso, Zabbix and Puppet to the point of being able to take over these services comfortably without depending on anyone. He works very well in a team and has a good relationship with his clients. I recommend this professional.

(translated from Portuguese)

Fábio is an experienced Linux systems administrator with solid knowledge of operating systems and networks. He is dedicated, efficient, ethical and serious, and knows how to work in a team. On the project we worked on together, he showed mastery and confidence with email technologies, sustaining at CAIXA an infrastructure capable of handling traffic of more than two million messages a day. He works well under pressure, delivers projects on time and has an excellent relationship with his clients. He is a well-rounded professional; I recommend him.

It's hard to talk about Fernando the professional without first talking about Fernando the person. I met Fernando in Brasília through the free software communities and events. We became friends and, as a senior IT professional, he began to show me a side of the FOSS world I didn't know, something beyond evangelism and digital inclusion.

It's hard to talk about Fernando the professional without first talking about Fernando the person. I met Fernando in Brasília through the free software communities and events. We became friends and, as a senior IT professional, he began to show me a side of the FOSS world I didn't know, something beyond evangelism and digital inclusion. It was with Fernando that I really got to know Debian, and it was through his guidance that I took my first steps contributing to FOSS projects, going beyond blogs, wikis and translations. He even managed to take me to DebConf in Mar del Plata to see up close how Debian is organized. It was a fantastic experience. He was the one who most encouraged me to go back to giving talks and, besides that, he gave me valuable tips on how to deliver talks in a more technical, mature and confident tone. Fernando is able to share, guide and sometimes even mentor – albeit discreetly – those in whom he sees potential for growth. Lucky me to have met him. Now, speaking of the professional: Fernando is an experienced IT professional who has worked with FOSS (free and open source software) for many years, being an active member of many communities in Brazil and abroad, a volunteer with recognized work in the Debian and PostgreSQL projects, and even a code contributor to PostgreSQL 8.x. At EBC he led a major restructuring of the IT infrastructure area. When he arrived, he found a scenario of neglect; the area was in imminent danger of being shut down. By working to raise the board's awareness, he managed to turn the situation around and transform IT into a reference area within a company whose main business is TV and radio. He built teams of developers and sysadmins and brought in specialists from the FOSS world. By bringing in people outside the market standard he took a risk, but he wasn't wrong: he knew that this was the profile he needed for the demands that would arise. Under his command, these teams, even working in difficult conditions, managed to evolve EBC's websites and, above all, modernized the company's entire infrastructure of servers and internal services, an infrastructure that served the support areas, the core areas and external clients. With him I had the opportunity to learn about agile infrastructure; he helped us use some KANBAN and SCRUM practices in the operations team's day-to-day, something pioneering in Brazil. Those were intense, hard and exhausting years, but the learning and the experience remained. In short, Fernando is a leader, a friend, a mentor. He is frank, honest and direct when he talks to you, and demanding with his team – after all, he knows each person's potential. He is always working to help the people around him grow and to improve the place where he works. I recommend this professional.

I met José Eufrásio Júnior – a.k.a. Coredump – at EBC, and from our very first conversations, I confess I was astonished by his technical knowledge, experience, confidence and broad view of IT environments. I felt like a junior administrator next to him and the rest of the team – and I really was. He always handled requests quickly and efficiently and didn't hesitate to share or pass on what he had learned to the rest of the team.

He always handled requests quickly and efficiently and didn't hesitate to share or pass on what he had learned to the rest of the team. He has an enormous ability to stay calm in the most adverse incidents and problems that come up, and he guided us to solve problems by thinking clearly, without letting emotion and nervousness get in the way of decision-making. With him I learned to really use NGINX and discovered the powers of VARNISH. Beyond that, I finally understood how to build a scalable environment and how to work with load balancing. Core is one of those rare, well-rounded sysadmins: besides knowing a lot about operations, he also programs well, especially in Python, and that is something many people lack. Working alongside him, even for just a few months, motivated me to keep studying and growing, and made me certain that there is still much more to discover, learn, grow and mature. He pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I'm grateful for that; it was a push and a remarkable, important experience. I recommend this professional for any team.

Sometimes in life you get the chance to give someone an opportunity. I had that chance, and that's how I met Douglas at Dataprev. He joined the advisory staff of the company's technology board through a selection process I ran.

Sometimes in life you get the chance to give someone an opportunity. I had that chance, and that's how I met Douglas at Dataprev. He joined the advisory staff of the company's technology board through a selection process I ran. It was one of those moments when you get it right in life, and I say this because, besides gaining a great professional – someone ethical, honest, efficient, dedicated and very responsible – I also gained a great friend. Douglas is, first and foremost, someone deeply involved with the FOSS (free and open source software) world. He has always worked with this kind of technology and contributes and has contributed to several projects, among them Python and Arch Linux. At Dataprev he was given two complex missions right from the start, one internal in the communications department and another at an external client. He handled both with great dedication and effort and never complained – even with demanding clients. He quickly improved the environments he put his hands on. An outstanding programmer, patient and calm, he sees solutions to problems where most of us can't, and he does it fast, without neglecting good coding practices. He is well versed in several programming languages and paradigms, always keeps an eye on new technologies and isn't afraid to innovate. I learned and keep learning a lot from him; he knows – like few others – how to share what he learns in a light and simple way. I recommend this professional; everyone needs a Douglas on their team.

(translated from Portuguese)

At EBC I had the opportunity to work with Douglas again. Once more he arrived with a difficult mission: he took over a team that had been without a manager for many months. The team in question had a lot of overdue work and was under heavy pressure from the board because of it. On top of that, the board was considering moving development outside the company – outsourcing – because it didn't believe in that area's work. Once again, his competence and calm were decisive in allowing him to reorganize the team. He managed to separate the wheat from the chaf…

The team in question had a lot of overdue work and was under heavy pressure from the board because of it. On top of that, the board was considering moving development outside the company – outsourcing – because it didn't believe in that area's work. Once again, his competence and calm were decisive in allowing him to reorganize the team. He managed to separate the wheat from the chaff, redistributed tasks and projects, brought in new people and specialists, resumed the use of agile methodologies (SCRUM), started applying KANBAN to complement his way of working, began implementing a continuous development environment – a pioneering initiative in Brasília – and started fostering innovation. I remember that every week a member of his team was invited to run a 1-hour workshop presenting something new or consolidating something they already used in their environment (a way of leveling everyone's knowledge). I attended some of these workshops and they were very enlightening. In a short time he earned the board's respect and, with that, managed to practically double the team. With that extra momentum he was able to launch major projects such as the new EBC portal. When I left EBC to take on other projects, I could see a new development area, flowing, innovating – an area that had won a great battle and was beginning to reap the rewards of that work. For this kind of attitude and conduct, I recommend this professional and hope to work with him again.

Jarbas is one of those professionals who dives headfirst into his projects and into studying new technologies. He is one of the most knowledgeable people about OpenLDAP I know. He worked directly on the migration away from proprietary technologies at DATAPREV, replacing the old directory system with OpenLDAP, and his work reached the entire network of Brazil's social security system. I recommend this professional.

(translated from Portuguese)

Josué was a great partner on several projects; his experience and dedication were fundamental to deploying the Expresso technology at Dataprev and across Brazil's social security network. He has advanced IT knowledge – mainly open source – and isn't afraid to get his hands on the code. Patient, calm and focused, a valuable member of any team.

(translated from Portuguese)

José Pissin is an excellent professional: dedicated, efficient and an outstanding expert in technology, especially free and open source technologies. He is always willing to help you and knows, like few others, the paths to get your project or request resolved within Dataprev. During the time we worked together, his participation, patience, persistence, collaboration and critical eye were fundamental to deploying the Expresso and OpenLDAP projects across the entire network of Brazil's social security system.

Alessandro was one of CGMI's clients when I was at MDA. Our team supported him in maintaining some OpenCMS websites. Whenever we worked together on site deploys, maintenance and updates to the environments under his responsibility, he was always available to support us, being very dedicated and easygoing on those occasions. An efficient and experienced programmer, he remained calm and respectful even in the most complex and stressful requests and missions, the ones with extremely tight deadlines. I recommend this professional.

Certainly, he is a passioned IT specialist (but he has another passion - Gaming). He is an active member of several communities, sharing, developing and helping people on several projects. He is a person who knowns, and can work easily in many IT specialities, like development (programmer, analyst, architect, etc... ), devops, sysadmin, advisor and even team coordinator if is necessary. We have been working together since 2010 and during this time, I had the opportunity to elaborate, present and execute some projects with him to several Brasilia customers, and it has been an excellent experience as he is a very humble, simple, discreet and calm person, even on stressful situations. Every team needs a Daniel.

Paulo is an excellent professional: serious, ethical and pragmatic. When I arrived in Brasília I worked on the MDA project through the CTIS contract, as a consultant in the networking department, where I met Paulo, the Ministry's CGMI at the time. In every project I worked on under his coordination, his commitment, dedication and seriousness were evident, not only as CGMI but as a citizen who knew what he was working for. I recommend this professional.

On his fellow advisors' projects, Elias was always available to help, guide and give the support needed for us to reach the board's goals. An engineer by training with a master's in computing, and above all humble and unpretentious, he is a colleague any team would like to have, especially if they work in his main areas of interest, clusters and cloud, which were already part of his daily routine even before these subjects became mainstream on the web. I recommend this professional.
