About me - know more

Published by Luis Miguel Gonçalves on Jan, 1st 2009

Dear Visitor,

My name is Luis Miguel Gonçalves and I AM A PROBLEM SOLVER.

I have been solving problems since I have conscience of myself!
  • When I was 8, my family bring me the electronically stuff they had broken for me to repair;

  • When I was in school I was the student that helped teachers in installing and maintaining the PC’s in the computer room;

  • For my friends I was (and I think I will always be! :)) the guy always available to help them to solve the problems they had with their computers;

  • When I started to work I was the helpdesk technician capable of solving all those problems a PC was always creating to my fellow users;

  • When my boss decided he wanted something, I had a problem to solve!

  • When I decided to get married when I was just 20…oh men…what I problem I had to solve!

  • When I started to work by myself, I had really many problems to solve!

  • When a customer says to me he has this problem or that need, then I have another challenge on my hands.

  • I could continue this list far long…but will save you from read more about the same!
Indeed all the above topics reveal what I am and what I like to do:

I like to analyze problems, find a solution and implement it!

I know I cannot survive without money in my pocket, but is it also extremely rewarding to see the satisfaction of a pleased customer after having my job done!

And I think that my best visit card are my happy customers that always return back, as well as the fact that I still provide IT services for most of my initial customers for more than 14 years now.

I am a know-how provider and I know that there is only one way of being successful in the business in our days: provide added value to your customer’s business whatever it is and whatever project you are doing – customers want experts and only those who possess the know-how and are capable of understanding the business needs can provide what customers are looking for.

So it does not matter if I am doing an application development, implementing an ERP or a CRM, implementing a network infrastructure, developing a web site, performing an IT audit, analyzing organization’s processes, write a RFI / RFP, managing a project, (re)defining the IT governance policies, or participating in the strategic IT vision definition, my mind is always focused on how to provide real, measurable value to my customer.

As I read somewhere:

“Being next to our customers and helping them to be profitable will make us profitable.”

I do provide services as an IT Consultant, and I am always looking for new projects to participate worldwide. Please visit in my personal web site some of the projects I have been engaged.

If you think I can be of any use for you, please feel free to get in touch with me.

Nice to see you around here.

Regards,
Luis Miguel Gonçalves
