Speaking
Talks about where this industry came from, and what it was like to be in it.
Two prepared talks, both written to be enjoyed rather than endured, from someone who has been in enterprise networking since 1996.
Available for events and internal sessions
Conferences, industry events, partner gatherings, and internal sessions for teams that want an outside voice for an hour. Delivered in Portuguese or English. Travel is welcome and expected to be arranged as part of the booking.
The talks
A Revolução da Tecnologia
The technology revolution
From punched cards to cognitive prediction, and the question underneath the whole arc: what becomes of us? A wide-angle talk for a mixed audience, built from three decades of watching the industry promise things and then deliver something adjacent.
Hard Work, Hard Party
Field stories
Tales that could have been lived, witnessed or overheard on the road as a field engineer. Any resemblance to real events or persons is entirely coincidental. For audiences who have done the work and will recognise themselves, and for those who have not and should know what it is like.
Other subjects
The industry history on this site runs to more than a hundred and sixty company records, and much of it has never been said out loud. If an event needs a talk on a specific era, technology lineage, or the way a particular market actually formed, that is a conversation worth having.
One thing this is not
This is not training. Courses, workshops and certification preparation are delivered through Red Education and are booked there, not here. A conference talk and a training day are different things with different audiences, and mixing them serves neither.
Booking
The useful first message says the event, the date, the audience and roughly how long you want. Fees, travel and recording rights are agreed before anything is confirmed.
