As you can see, my name is Julio Cesar Fort, 24, yet another guy living in Recife, Pernambuco, a very beautiful state located in northeast of Brazil.
Currently I am an undergraduate student of Computer Engineering at CIn/UFPE (Pernambuco Federal University) and former undergraduate student in Mechanics Engineering at the same university. I also have a parallel activity as self-proclaimed (haha) editor-in-chief of The Bug! Magazine, the only active hacking-related e-zine in Brazil nowadays.
By the second half of 2005 and early 2006 I was a schoolarship holder of CNPq and acted as intern at C.E.S.A.R. learning secure coding techniques in C. I confess I had a great time there but I could have learned much more.
After my time in C.E.S.A.R. was over, I worked, also as intern, in coadmin team at Tempest Technologies, a very nice market-leading company Brazilian information security industry. Tempest was nice because, it doesn't sell fear and lies like other companies that make this industry so filthy. I asked to leave the company because I had no time to study and my grades were dropping as hell.
By the way, Recife is also a brazilian technological pole. Cases like Porto Digital and C.E.S.A.R. are the living proof of it. Because of these initiactives we have now based in Recife major companies such as Motorola, Intel, Samsung, LG Electronics, Nokia research institute and even Microsoft.
