Me on the hotel pool

I am an IT Audit Supervisor at ABN AMRO's Group Audit Department in Brasil. I am mainly focused in auditing the client/server, midrange and networks infrastructure and strategy of the Bank and related companies in Brasil.

Audio compression and related technologies are one of my hobbies, and I've been dedicating some time that I have to learn about this issues. That's how I came across hydrogenaudio forums in early 2003.


About me

São Paulo downtown skyline
My Amsterdam's apartment view

I was born in São Paulo in july 1975. I've also lived for some time in a small town in São Paulo state countryside called Marília where I went to high school.

After high school (in 1994) I moved back to São Paulo to continue my studies in electrical engineering (telecommunications) at the local university. During that period my main interests were:

  • Wired and wireless telecomunication systems
  • Digital coding for wired and wireless systems
  • Analog and digital filters
  • Antennas and signal propagation
  • Discrete and continuous transforms
  • Computers and digital systems

After some frustrations in the engineering field I received a proposal to join ABN AMRO's Internal Audit Department in 1998 as an intern. This decision brought a great shift in my professional focus and I decided to face engineering more as a hobby from that day forth.

So, I went to learn Economics at another local university and got my post-graduate degree in 2002. During this period my main academic interests were:

  • Banking
  • Keynesian economics
  • Inflation targeting in emerging market countries
  • Econometrics
  • Value at risk
  • Economic policy and central banks
  • Valuation

As part of my work I spent sometime in Amsterdam in a short term exchange program from august to november 2005. It was a unique experience and a great opportunity to learn a different culture.

Recently my interest in digital audio has grown (again) and I started to investigate the subject. Certainly I am not as savvy as most of hydrogenaudio regulars, but I am learning and hope I may add some value to this community.
