Francisco C. - developer in Brazil
Francisco C.
Experienced Systems Developer with 40+ years in IT, mentoring in MATLAB, Python, Excel, VBA, VB.net, C#, C++, C and more.

Hi, my name is Francisco, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you. I love playing and working with technology, and I still remember with joy the day when I ran my very first Fortran program—a lifetime ago. I started with Fortran IV G/H on IBM /370 mainframes in 1975, then moved on to Cobol, Basic, PL/I, ASM/370, Algol, Pascal, Lisp, ASM x86, C, dBase, Clipper, C++, Mathematica, REXX, VB, VBA, HTML & CSS, SQL, VB .Net, C# .Net, PHP, Javascript, Python, and others. I haven't stopped yet. Within Information Technology, I have done it all: from scientific programming to business systems; from operating systems (drivers and internals) to compiler development; from websites and online applications to automated trading systems; from macro languages' automation routines to neural networks and other machine learning algorithms; and many other things. I love learning new paradigms and have a very broad range of interests. Being older than most people around here affords me something invaluable: experience. And of that, I have a lot. Please, allow me to share it with you. Some of my most recent public work can be seen at the following websites: www.solcentral.com.br, fws.fortuna.com.br, and www.fortuna.com.br. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
