A short presentation
My name is Geraldo Novais, I’m a Systems Engineer with over 15 years of experience in software development for Windows, Linux, Web and Embedded Systems.
Areas of greatest interest: Software Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Hardware-Software Interface.
Education Background
I graduated in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on Systems and Automation at UFRN. The subjects that interested me most involved electronics, control systems, software development and embedded systems.
Professional Experience
My first work experience was as a French interpreter, at the age of 17, at Novotel in Macapá.
After graduating, I worked at CESAR with application development and testing for Motorola phones.
Then I went to EMBRASIM, a company that developed software in the aviation area, and to Flamoil, a company in the geophysics area.
From 2012 to the present, after receiving financial investments, I started to run some business as entrepreneur.
My most current project is a booking system for Receptive Tourism Agencies – AgTransfer.
First International Experience
Travel to England to perform systems integration
After leaving CESAR, I went to Natal to work at Embrasim – Empresa Brasileira de Simuladores, which developed flight simulators for training pilots.
During this period, I had my first international work experience. With just over a year in the company, I went to England to integrate the systems that were developed in conjunction with SONDA Aviation.
My decision to start my own business
Creating something and gaining market share, especially in technology, is really challenging.
In 2012 I left the last company I worked for to execute some projects as an entrepreneur.
I spent time studying negotiation techniques, business models, monetization models, among other things, until I felt prepared to raise financial investment with investors.
The time spent studying was very worthwhile. I managed to be successful with investors in all projects.
