He then got his first taste of a "hybrid" online and print newsroom at Exame Informática. After completing his post-grad in Journalism he then went to work at TVI, where he produced and co-presented "NXT - O Próximo Passo".

I have a multidisciplinary background on content creation that spans across 30 years of experience, both as a provider and buyer.
I started as a photographer with my own company when I was 22 years old. With a strong background in advertising and commercial photography, I moved to journalism, where I excelled in managing two monthly photography magazines (Super Foto Prática and O Mundo da Fotografia Digital).
At the time where I was fully dedicated to journalism I got to experience the move from paper to digital, not only in the contente making but as well in the technical and commercial aspects of the business itself.
Throughout this 30 years time teaching has always been present in my activity. Knowledge must be shared, so that we can all evolve as a group.
At the present time, teaching and consulting on content creation and management, colour management, digital imaging and multimedia workflow is my main occupation.
Also, I help out on my family business, undertaking back office management, on-line content management and customer relation management.
