I am currently running my own web-based software development company (mainly .NET based ) building HRIS (Human Resource Information Systems) software for HR teams. I've also been employed as a teacher to 7th and 8th graders in Tec. Ed. classes, and voluntarily accepting 12th grade internships of IT students through local schools.
I am currently finishing a couple of web based projects for one of Sonae's human resources departments - Sonae being the largest private employer in Portugal, after having concluded a project for a Cape Verdian Bank (in colaboration with G333.Net).
When possible, I work on internal R&D projects, namely our devolpment framework, a DSL for code generation, and product ideas. I also colaborate with various local companies and institutions, both professionaly and voluntarily, namely the Santa Casa da Misericrdia da Murtosa.
My colleagues and I are experienced in developing costumized software, service and database solutions for businesses. We work with .Net, PostrgeSQL databases (or others as needed) , Ajax and Javascript based interfaces and our own internal framework for rapid development and maitenance.

Thought the class was informative and easy to follow.

I thought there would be more command line associated with it. There seems to be a heavy emphasis on using pgAdmin III
