Franklin Dattein

Summary :

I work as a Software Engineer since year 2000, developing systems for the web, mainly with Java, CSharp and Grails.

In 2010 I joined ThoughtWorks in Sydney, Australia as a consultant developer.

Between 2004 and 2010 I worked for HP in Porto Alegre, Brazil. HP gave me the chance to work in 10+ different projects and acquire experience and maturity.
My last role there was "Technical Leader" in an Agile team, developing an Embedded Web Platform for Window CE.
This was a very challenging system due to the resource limitations of Windows CE. During this period, I have designed and leaded the development of a embedded web server, a MVC Framework and a Web Services Framework, based on Windows Communication Foundation.

In 2002 I have created the PortalJava.com, one of the biggest Java online communities of Brazil up to 2006, with more than 35.000 Java developers. Afterwards, PortalJava was acquired by Guj, another popular Java Community.

Furthermore, in my 10+ years career, I have developed web applications for Credit Card Management, Management of the buildings of the Brazilian government, Data Mining and Marketing tools, Human Resources management and Duty management, also for the government.
My areas of Interest are Agile, Continuous delivery, Mobile Systems, Automated Trading, Genetic Programming and Neural Networks for the Financial Market.

Lately, I have been using my free time to develop the Torpedeiro.com, a SMS Gateway to enable computers to send SMS over the web.

Specialties :

I am a technology enthusiast, I like to learn new technologies and contribute with Open source projects in my free time.
In addition, I believe my main skill is the ability to solve problems quickly, due to my exposition to several real world problems and solutions.
