IBM So Long and thanks for all the fish

So long IBM and thanks for all the fish

After 16 exciting and very rewarding years at IBM I left my badge at reception today.
Thanks to my teams, friends and family for making these years so remarkable. I will embark now on a new journey as Digital Advisor at Microsoft, It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity of working in the Digital Advisory Services.

My journey started here , I took my first computer on 1982, it was a Commodore VIC 20 ,  my first professional internet experience began in the 1997, here my first website, and after the IBM’s experience I have decided to seek new adventures. I am sure you can understand that making this decision has been difficult. I leave with mixed emotions.

I have a lot of memories: passion, friends, colleagues, boss, customers, project plans, scenarios, solutions, source code, meetings, failures, successes, work at night, dreams, philosophy, technologies, travels, cities, airports, pubs 🙂

I do wish You and the Company every success in all its future endeavors.

Stay tuned. It’s going to be a blast. See you around !

So long and thanks for all the fish

    From Legacy Silos to Single View in the Public Sector

    Public institutions accumulate legacy silos over decades, fragmenting the representation of the citizen across systems. This article explores how an entity-centric Single View architecture, built on MongoDB, transforms integration from runtime joins into a persistent operational model for the Public Sector.

  • AI Tools, Agents, and the Future of Software Development

    AI tools and agents are reshaping software development by transforming how legacy systems are modernized.
    Rather than focusing on code generation alone, Generative AI enables deeper understanding of existing applications, data, and dependencies. By combining AI agents, structured analysis, and modern data platforms, organizations can accelerate legacy modernization, reduce risk, and evolve complex systems continuously instead of relying on costly, one-time rewrites.

    Master Data Management and Golden Records

    Master Data Management is not about consolidating records or choosing a system of record.
    It is about defining how truth is constructed when systems disagree.

    This monograph presents a production-grade MDM pattern based on attribute-centric Golden Records, explicit governance, and temporal versioning. From ingestion to conflict resolution, it shows how truth is composed, explained, and preserved over time in real enterprise architectures.
