I am a huge fan of the Barcelona football team and the Spanish football league. I love socializing with my IT peers and solving programming challenges. I was part of my university ACM ICPC team twice. In addition I’m addicted to workshops, presentations, and proof of concepts. Working hard on that, Microsoft awarded me the MVP award 4 years.
I remember the first time I wanted to be an MVP was during the Microsoft campaign for Longhorn. Watching these guys on stage presenting the future was a thrilling experience for me. I just wanted to be that guy who climbs the stage; tell people about new features; fires up a virtual machine and demo great stuff; answer their questions, and throw giveaways at them! Being an MVP gave me the adrenalin rush and satisfaction I was looking for. Later I presented in many Microsoft regional events, such as East Med Developers Conference, Momentum, Partner Readiness, Visual Studio Tour, and Academic Day with a total of more than 400 sessions.
Technically, I’m in love with my wife , SharePoint, and BizTalk! I specialize also in Enterprise Project Management (Project Server and Portfolio Server); Visual Studio Team System; Customer Care Framework (CCF), and Hyper-V. In addition to my technical knowledge, I have excellent experience with Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) and IT Service Management (ITSM). I’m ITIL v3 certified and I have wide experience working with MOF and COBIT.
