About me

My name (as you may already have guessed) is Nelson Pires and I'm a 30-something year old living and working between the UK and Portugal. I was born in the sunny and beautiful country of Portugal (also known as Europe's west coast) where my passion for technology begun at the tender age of 11.

I'm luckily married to a great and wonderful wife that understands the implications of living with a technologist and when I'm not hanging out with her, I'm either programming, strategizing about the next big thing, or simply out gardening/landscaping or planting forests.

Being multi-disciplinary means I wear many hats. In software development, I master a wide range of technologies, from plain, standards compliant HTML to CSS, Javascript and a little PHP here and there but mostly C# with all its awesome power. In the past, I got caught up in perfectionism, procrastination, over-planning and analysis paralysis, but now, being a passionate standardista the work gets done in the best and most efficient way possible. A long timer in web related subjects gives me a huge advantage and experience in all types of back and front-end development. I am also a host master, entrepreneur and a Microsoft Certified Professional with 27 years experience in the computer industry and 16 years in web development. I do what I do best on a daily basis and I'm very passionate about software development, SEO and programming which means it's rather difficult to just stop when I get home.

I am also the Director of Oneline Centric Limited, a Company that specialises in Lead Generation software, SEO and Content Management Systems amongst other innovative technologies that I will present and discuss here at a later stage. As an individual I'm always looking to go further, pushing the boundaries more and more each time, always trying to stay at the fore front of cutting edge technology.

Operating mainly for the English, Portuguese, Spanish and Latin American markets, but with a keen eye for emerging markets and opportunities with extraordinary attention for detail, I consider myself as an experienced professional but with so much still to learn.

Why not get in touch if you have any questions or maybe just to say “hi!”.
