My name is Roberto Selbach Teixeira and this is ~robteix, where I post about interesting stuff, where “interesting” is arbitrarily defined by me.

About Moi
I was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, but grew up in Caxias do Sul, which is what I call my hometown. I started working as a truck loader for a food distributor. This helped me pay for college (CompSci). After college I started working for a small software company writing medical software.

I also started playing with opensource software and was invited to move to Curitiba to work at Conectiva, then one of the world’s largest Linux distributions. I quickly moved from software engineer to head of the enterprise development team, a fancy name for the group responsible for the execution of software development projects.

In 2004 I left Conectiva and went to work with one of the company’s original founders in a new company as a consultant and technical leader of the OS development team.

In 2005 I decided to leave the company to face the challenge of working at a big company: Intel Corporation. I started as a software engineer in Sao Paulo. I then moved to Oregon and later to Cordoba, Argentina where Intel maintains its Argentina Software Development Center.

And elsewhere…
