From 1997 to 1998 got back to the Dance Company, I work almost for free because it was in serious trouble, no money, I went to live there (an old palace that over the years I help to restore with the aid of Lisbon Council & the friends of C.D.L.).
Skills
I repair PC, Laptop computers & Android Phones. Good with Windows & Linux systems, hardware or software with very good knowledge of using the Linux Terminal (Windows command line). I do small repairs on Android phones (updates, install or broken screens). I repair computers free of charge to all my neighbors too.
I call myself Front-End Developer which is not really true, I still have a lot to learn, but, I have a pretty good Basic Knowledge of HTML,CSS & JavaScript. I know how to design & maintain basic websites from scratch (static & dynamic pages) on web hosting or GitHub pages (some skills with Git). I also use Bootstrap, Atom text editor, JQuery & Node.JS (beginner). I’m doing a free code course online at FreeCodeCamp.
Good skills with Photoshop, Darktable ,Gimp, Virtualbox, etc. Hardware & Software installation, troubleshooting, updates, malware, virus, etc.
I also do some retouching & repairs on old photos keeping the poetic atmosphere when the shot was taken ...
I’m also trying to work with Firefox new WebExtensions API, in order to migrate some of my old addons, build with the old sdk, to the new WebExtensions API, a cross-browser system for developing extensions. To a large extent the system is compatible with the extension API supported by Google Chrome and Opera and the W3C Draft Community Group. Extensions written for these browsers will in most cases run in Firefox or Microsoft Edge with just a few changes. The API is also fully compatible with multiprocess Firefox. I’m having all kinds of issues with this, but, on the other hand that was the way I start up with Node.Js with Express & to learn how to build the software for a local Library maintain by volunteers, I’m experimenting to this also with the Django framework in localhost on my Desktop PC.
Activities and societies
