Professional Experience
Banco Noroeste, São Paulo, Brazil
My first job after graduation was in 1985 as a Computer Systems Analyst
working on COBOL programs to control cash dispensing machines. I was
part of a group of twenty or so recent graduates recruited by this bank
to form the future IT elite of the company. We were given six months
full-time training prior to being cycled through the various divisions
of the IT department. After a few months I decided to move back into
Engineering, and left the bank.
