Hello World, I'm Nelson Neves from Protugal, a C++ Software Developer, Electronic Hobbyist, Microcontroller Geek, Linux Embedded Hardware Fan, a proud Geek/Maker and a 3D Printer Lover.

I'm currently doing C++ Software Development for the win32 platform, but am a long time Linux lover and addicted to new technology software/hardware, with a strong tendency to web technology. Consider myself as an open-source-minded kind of guy, really enjoy a nice geek talk! Also have an Academic background on electronics/microcontrollers which helps me to discover my hardware geek side! In my free times I tend to make some research/prototyping on microcontrollers and Linux Embedded hardware, getting the 2 worlds together and mixing some web technology in the middle to make it more interesting (inspired in some of 'the internet of things' ideas). Here are some of my accomplishments:
