Hello my name is Miro.

I'm a good man, and belive in Jesus.

I have a beautiful wife, Rosa, and 2 cool kids Joao e Maria.

I'm a tech guru, savvy, curious, and thinker.

I'm a soon of a farmer, but early in my growth i become in love by electronics. I have studied milk indutry in my sennior high school. But after that i go to Leiria to an polytechnic school where i study Electronic's.

After that i was working in mold industry, making electronics to increase prodution os the molding machines.

Again i change in my carrer, i went to the dental indutry, again making electronic's to the dental chair's. Here, i made my first dental imaging software. The software aquires x-ray images from the thooth with some fpga kit. And again the software treat the image and archive them in a database.

2008 i married and i back to my village Penela, from there i become worker to another software dental company called Imaginasoft, there i made my second dental imaging software.

2012 the crissis strike Portugal, and dental industry and i lost my job.

Well... Here the adventure begins.

I that year have born my second child Maria, i start study, software engeneer in colage.

But...

I droped colege. Why?! The method's of teaching are to stiff and old. I go to a corwk space where i could learn by my self, Arduino, Raspberry, Node JS, PHP. After that an oportunity appers to make a big project in tourism area.

I try to find a team, and yes i could.

I find it, in the Crossing Answers.

They have made an "ulock tabaco machine electronics" with the national identification card. I made for them the electronics.

And with them, my beloved team, we made:

- An AudioGuide based in an App (Android and IOS)

- Turistic tracking App

- Virtual visiting system (You could visit Penela Castel with Oculus rift Glasses)

- Aumented reality binoculars.

- And mutch more.

In that enterprise i'm in charge of the Fablab Penela managment. I love it every bit.

The big thing we did at Fablab Penela was make an 100 animated pupets (with arduino and raspberry), in a crib cene, with 500 m2, and where we have been visited by 40 000 people.
