Welcome to my portfolio

Hi, I'm Iury Nícolas

Data and Network Engineer

Incorrect data is not just a nuisance, it is a threat to the survival of any operation. Organisations collect more data than ever before, but 70% of analytics initiatives fail due to poor data quality, and this can be an analogy for all types of activities, as solving problems involves a great deal of understanding and root cause analysis.

I am an experienced technology professional, but I know that it is never enough, and I am always learning. I began my journey as a technical assistant and, through experience and knowledge acquired, I grew within the companies I worked for. With experience ranging from the field to the server, I was able to acquire skills involving various types of systems, networks and integrations, as explained below, such as general use of tools, installation, general CCTV and commitment to company policy.
