Who I Am

My name is Miguel Pragier, and I've making software since 1996.
For each project I employed a different set of technologies, according business necessities.
I worked for banks, fintechs, marketing agencies, government and political parties, digital entertainment, mature companies and startups.
Over the last years I've been developing sofware for web in GoLang, storing in SQL and NoSQL databases, deploying to cloud managed environments.
Most of my carreer happened in small companies.
